Saver Notes

Bringing wet, swampy areas into production by- open ditch drainage is again coming to the front this year as an important soil and water conservation practice in the Culpeper Soil Conservation District. “Land which does not contribute to the overall production of a farm is costly in any farm operation,” says T. G. Ragsdals, Manager, Beauregard Farm, Brandy.
The Production and Marketing Administration is in a position to 'lend financial aid to farmers who carry out open ditch drainage projects on their farms. A payment of 12c per cubic yard is paid for dirt moved from open ditches not to exceed $100.00 per farm. The project must first be surveyed by the Soil Conservation Service Technician before any iwork is done and again after the work is completed to determine if the work is up to standard.
Six farmers have already done opjpn djitch drainage work this year and are eligible for payment through the FMA.. Included in this group are: Gore Bros. Reva; Ed Floyd, Brandy; James A. Weaver, Culpeper; William J. Smith ’ and Son, Culpeper; Dick C. Weaver, Boston; and J. Carlton Clore, Culpeper. Farm Pond* Complotod
