Damages To Double
(RCA) of 1977, as amended,
requires that USDA Appraise soil,
water and related resources on the
non-federal land of the United
States.
Sixty million acres, or 14 per
cent, of America’s cropland is
flood prone land. Because of the
high agricultural productivity of
this land, it is expected to remain
devoted to crop production.
