Farmers Get AAA
Data By ‘Farm Plan’
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer
State College, says farmers are
being offered first-hand information
about the application of the 1939
Triple-A program to their farms
through what is known as the “farm
plan.”
County AAA committeemen are j
meeting with each farmer to help
him work out his “farm plan,” which I
is an outline of the way the program!
works on the individual firm in 1939,
Floyd points out. Through this per
sonal contact with the committeeman,
the farmer who desires to participate
this year will be able to obtain in-,
formation as to the application'of the
program to his farm.
These “farm plan” conferences in
clude a discussion of the soil-deplet
ing crop allotments for the farm,
and the working out of a list of soil
building practices which will enable
the farmer to earn the maximum
payment, the AAA officer said. The
list of soil-building practices includes
those most needed oh the farm and
which are not routine farming prac
tices.
The “farm plan” also contains in
formation about rates of payments,
rate of deductions, and credit which
will be given for each soil-building
practice, Floyd explained.
Any farm operator who does no 1
have the opportunity to work out a
“farm plan” with his committeeman
within the next few weeks should
contact the county farm agent’s of
fice or his local committeeman to
obtain this service, Floyd advised. A
copy of the “farm plan” will be given
