The chairman explained that
if this considerable interest on
the part of farmers is reflected
in formal applications for con-
seryation reserve contracts, the
result could be that applications
will exceed funds available for
program payments in Noble
county.
Under conservation reserve
regulations, applications for con-
tracts have to be accepted in ac-
cordance with definite priority
plan-on the basis of the best
offer per acre. Therefore, farm
ers who offer to accept contracts
at rate less than the maximum
set for their farms will increase
the possibility of their applica-
tions being accepted.
