Soil Bank Aids
Wheat Farmers
Watauga county farmeri who
place their wheat acreage in the
Soil Bank ataod to benefit in more
than one way, according to Dwight
Cable, chairman of the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conaervation
County Committee. Many farmer*
in thi* county who have been
plagued with drought or flooding
of low field* will have a special
interest in a secondary but very
Important income protection advantage
provided through ASC'«
Acreage Reserve Program. Mr.
Cable explained that farmer* who
put acreage in the reterve are
guaranteed a minimum income for
thi* land even if later on tome
natural disaster hits their farm.
Other farmer* who are in bad
health or who are forced to work
full time off the 'farm are finding
the Soil Bank to be a welcome
source of additional income providing
amounts nearly equal to the
net return that would have been
realized had the acreage been
planted.
The signup under the 1968
wheat acreage program in this
county is now open and closes on
October 4.
Despite these side benefits that
can be realised from the Acreage
Reserve Program, Mr. Cable emphasized
the fact that the main
purpose of the acreage rserve is
to help cut down the surplus that
now exists in connection with many
farm commodities.
