protection measures on their
farms. Practices emphasized are
those which help to provide long
range preservation of the en
vironment and return greater
benefits to the public.
The initial funding level for
1973 will be $140.0 million, the
same as the initial funding for
last year’s program. A final
decision regarding the program
level will not be made until
determinations are made on
overall spending targets.
Farmers will receive Federal
cost-sharing for these new
practices: (1) Installation of
excess water management
systems where they are essential
to combat adverse en
vironmental conditions such as
water pollution from con
taminated water runoff caused
by high water table, or in
complete recycling of animal or
human waste, sedimentation,
and salinity or alkalinity; and (2)
use of conservation tillage on a
demonstration basis to reduce
soil loss from land devoted to
intertilled (row) crops.
Also, the 1973 REAP expands
the authority to cost-share for
practices to solve agriculture
related air pollution problems. In
the past, cost-sharing for
pollution abatement was limited
to those practices with soil and
water conservation benefits.
County committees will
develop their 1973 programs
within National program
guidelines and will have op
portunity to keep some or all of
their 1970 county practices as was
the case for 1971 and 1972.
The following conservation and
environmental protection '
features will receive high priority
during the coming year;
Establishing permanent
vegetative cover; improving or
protecting permanent vegetative
cover; developing facilities for
livestock water; water im
poundment reservoirs; con
structing terrace systems;
diversion terraces, ditches or
dikes; permanent wildlife
habitat; animal waste storage
and diversion facilities; sediment
