ACP Practices
Conserve Resources
Practices being carried out under the 1967 Agricultural Conservation Program are helping to improve and conserve soil and water resources on about 200 farms in Rappahannock County, H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, said today. These farms include about 30,000 acres of farmland. Each year, throughout the country, about a million farms take part in ACP and well over 2 million different farms participate in 4 or 5 years. Under the Agricultural Conservation Program last year, conservation measures on county farms represented a total investment of around $37,000. ACP cost-sharing accounted for about half this amount, and farmers matched the public investment with their own resources. Since similar investments were made through ACP and by farmers in all of the Nation’s agricultural counties, the people of America benefited from a half-billion dollars’ worth of ACP conservation work.
The ACP for 1967 — the 32d program year -- is now well under way, and most farmers who intend carrying out needed conservation measures this year have already arranged for ACP cost-sharing help to expand soil, water, woodland, and wildlife conservation work. The Chairman said that where a farmer plans such conservation measures, they should be installed during the next few months.
