Soil Bank
Deadline
Thursday, September 10 is
the last day farmers can take
the first necessary step to
participate in the Soil Bank’s
1960 Conservation Reserve
program, Earl Groff, Chair
man of the Pennsylvania
Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee,
said today.
The first step is for each
tanner who wishes to offer
cropland under the program
to ask _ the County Agricul
tural Stabilization and Con
servation Committee to set a
basic annual rate per-acre
for the land offered.
The period for filing such
requests is from August 24
through September 10. The
Chairman emphasized that
no requests will be accept
ed after September 10.
After the basic rate has
been established for the land
offered, the farmer will then
have an opportunity to ap
ply for a contract at any fig
ure below the basic rate.
If the offer can be accept
ed, the farmer will be noti
fied of the date by which he
must return the signed Con
servation Reserve contract
to the County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conserva
tion Office.
