Senate Bill 741, which became effective July 1, 1988, adds $2O per acre to the already substantial financial incentives provided by the Federal Reserve Conservation Program, under the Federal Food Security Act of 1985. The new State Conservation Program, will “piggyback” on the federal program. “The program gives extra encouragement to those farming highly erodible lands in critical areas, and around waterways and marshes leading to critical areas, to practice conservation methods. It is designed to help farmers estab lish buffer areas along the Bay and its tributaries,” states Senator Amoss. “While establishing these con servation areas, fanners will not lose the use of the land for pasture or forestation,” indicates Senator Atnoss. “In the past, Maryland’s response to the Federal Conserva tion Program has been poor,” indi cates Senator Amoss. “Twenty three percent of Maryland farmers are eligible to share in this prog ram, yet fewer than one percent have done so.” While ranking 14th in federal eligibility for the reserve program, Maryland places 42nd in participation. “The new state legislative and increased financial incentive for participation should creat greater interest in conservation by Mary land farmers,” comments Senator Amoss. “I am hopeful that those who are currently cropping highly erodible lands along streams and in critical areas will give renewed consideration to the conservation program.” The next sign-up period for the Federal Reserve Consevation Program begins Monday, July 18th, and will run for three weeks. Applications and program infor mation may be obtained by calling the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service in the county of residence.
