Small Farms Given Options 39 Program
The 1939 AAA farm program offers a special option for farmers with total soil depleting allotments of 20 acres or less. C B Hagen, chairman of the conservation committee, notes changes from 1938. Under the provision a farm can be treated as a non general allotment farm while staying within crop allotments, with payments based on these allotments and potential to expand general crops up to 20 total acres without deductions, if certain soil building practices are completed. The county chairman says it is more flexible and advantageous than the 1938 program.
