Show 1941 AAA Program Plans Emphasize Soil Conservation '; i I Next year's AAA farm program will continue emphasis on sail conservation give increased opportunity op-portunity for adapting the program pro-gram to fit the individual farm requirements and provide features fea-tures that strengthen the Ever-Normal Ever-Normal Granary program of balanced bal-anced abundance and production. That is the prediction E. H. Anderson, chairman (member) of Uie Sanpete county AAA commute;:- received from those who represented Utah at the National Ax'-A cor.u-rer.ee. Mr. Anderson srud that according accord-ing to the information he has received re-ceived from these representatives several new soil-building practices prac-tices have been recommended for the 1941 program. mncipal recommendations of merest to larmers of Sanpete County include: That m designated areas a farmer if he maintains 50 per cent of the cropland on his farm in perennial legumes or grasses, be permitted to earn a part of his soil-building allowance by carrying carry-ing out supplemental practices not normally carried out on the farm. This would allow farmers to use practices needed on the farm, but which are not provided in the program. That allotments on farms consisting con-sisting of newly developed or cleared land be limited by state committees to make them relatively rela-tively smaller than allotments on nearby "old farms" where substantial sub-stantial adjustments are being made by old growers. That if sugar beet acreage allotments allot-ments are necessary in 1941, they be on a county basis instead of the factory district basis, as at present. That three practices be adopted for orchards featuring maintenance mainten-ance of permanent cover in irrigated orchards, and contour planting of fruit and nut trees. That a practice for the removal of diseaesed and uneconomic apple trees be provided. That, as in 1940, a commercial vegetable allotment be established establish-ed in counties designated as commercial com-mercial counties. That this designated des-ignated as commercial counties. That this designation apply to counties in which more than 400 acres of commercial vegetables are normally grown on farms producing pro-ducing more than 3 acres. Upon recommendation of the state committee com-mittee the allotment may be omitted in the state and a vegetable vege-table limit placed on farms having hav-ing other crop allotments. In such areas no payment would be made directly on vegetables. That commercial vegetables include in-clude perennial as well as annual vegetables, with processed crops clossified as vegetables under the program unless it is determined that they are in competition with fresh vegetables. That the minimum payment of $20 per farm be continued in 1941. This allowance was first provided in the 1940 program. That, because of budget limitations, limita-tions, the $30 tree planting allowance, allow-ance, as provided in the 1940 program, pro-gram, be discontinued. That in order to assure orderly marketing of wheat and maturity dates of loans be staggered. That where loans are made on grains other than special crops, s'uch loan rates be set at a lower percentage of party price than those established for special crops. |
