(Continued from Page 1)
set-aside farm programs would be asked to set aside acreage that had been in crop production at least one of the three previous years. This would have meant a hardship for some farmers, for instance those with good potential cropland in permanent cover. Also, it would have limited a fanner’s freedom to make his own farm management decisions just at a time when farm programs are being shaped to give farmers more decision - making freedom. So the U. S. Department of Agriculture revoked the l-in-3 rule for set-aside land, and ruled that set-aside acreage must be of at least average productivity for the farm.
