ACP Plan Aims To Stretch Cheyenne County Tax Dollars
Cheyenne County ACP Development group refined the 1961 program with cost sharing tied to pure live seed, not bulk seed, to maximize conservation value. They seek a higher strip cropping cost share than Nebraska’s $3 per acre, estimating costs of $8.50 to $9.50 per acre and aiming for about 50 percent cost share to expand erosion control across future years. A new noxious weed control program using soil sterilants is authorized, with cost sharing limited to minimum active ingredient pounds to protect federal funds. Wool growers urged to keep lamb sale records for 1960-61 payments, while oats export programs resume under several USDA initiatives including payment in kind and CCC sales.
