Soil Bank Benefits
By fV. H. Lyne, County Agent
Most of you have already read articles on the Soil Bank giving the overall purposes and possibilities of benefits that a farmer may derive therefrom. While the Soil Bank is now under way, seemingly there are few in Rappahannock who can obtain any benefits this year.
Actually the Soil Bank ha|s two parts: the Acreage Reserve, which is designed to reduce certain' crop surpluses (wheat being the! only crop grown in this county that is
included) by offering cash J payments as inducement to plan: below acreage allotments; and (2) The Conservation Reserve, which has as its purpose to cut back excess production of crops in general by shifting to long term conservation practices.
Participation in the Soil Bank is strictly voluntary.
The 1956 Conservation phase, or program of the Soil Bank will not be out until around August 1. In so far as the Acreage Reserve Program is conserned, the only persons eligible for payment! are those, who because of weather conditions, failed to seed their [full wheat allotment last fall. If there are such persons, who in addition did not seed this acreage to any crop to be harvested in 1956, hen they are eligible to be paid at the rate of $4.00 per acre.
Applications must be filed at! the local A SC office with M G<jGore on or before July 20th.
