Defines Important
Soil Bank Terms

Farmers making plans for 1858
should consider the benefits they can
receive from the soil bank program,
Wilbur V. Bunke, chairman of the
Allen County Agricultural Stabiliza-
ton and Conservation committee said
this week.
Important terms farmers should
understand before they consider using
the soil bank plan are the permitted
acreage" and "soil bank base"
The "soil bank base" for a farm
is the average of the soil bank crop
grown on the farm for the two pre-
ceding years. These base crops are
generally all crops harvested on the
farm except hay.
Permitted acreage" is the farm
acreage on which soil bank crops
may be grown without violating con-
servation or acreage contracts cover
ing the farm. The permitted acreage
is the soil bank base acreage minus
the acreage put into the reserve pro-
gram.
Payments will be made on a per-
acre basis determined by the county
ASC committee. The rates will be
based on a county average but will
very according to farms relative
productivity.
The chairman urged farmers inter-
ested in either acreage reserve or
conservation reserve programs TO es-
tablish their soil bank bases as soon
as possible The signup period for the
conservation program will end April
15 A signup program for the acreage
reserve will be announced soon.
Contracts and agreements cannot
be signed until after the base has
been determined
Information on the program can be
obtained at the county office, in the
Dominion building, Lima.
