Show I 1 AAA will share cost of program for small farms A the AAA is going to pay a part of the local county administrative costs of the 1937 agricultural conservation program in court counties les where there are small participating farms so that the deductions duct ions from the farmers payments will not be too great in counties where there are a large number of small farms director william H peterson in charge of the program in utah says for each farm on which the 1937 payments will total 20 or less the AAA will credit the county association ai with 2 to be used in paying the local AAA expenses for the coun county ty mr peterson says this plan PI an Is is being used because it costs about as much for filling out forms and measuring a small farm as it does for a large farm many more small farms are expected to participate in the 1937 program than last year without some such provision the AAA AA believed that the administrative expenses in counties with many small farms would be so high that large deductions would have to be made from the payments of all the farmers in the county with this plan the more small farms there are in the program the larger will be the amount which the AAA will contribute toward the county expenses deductions from the payments for the local administrative costs of the program will therefore be about the same in most counties this year as last even though there are a larger number of small farmers taking part director peterson says |
