Farm Bill Deadline
Closer Than You Think
Farmers with highly erodibie
cropland have just two years to meet
the conservation requirements of the
1985 Farm Bill and remain eligible
for U.S. Department of Agriculture
benefits.
Russell Blevins, Madison County
district conservationist with the
USDA Soil Conservation Service, said
those provisions require farmers who
have highly erodibie land to have a
conservation plan approved by their
local conservation district by Dec. 31,
1989, and have it implemented by
Dec. 31. 1994, to remain eligible for
USDA farm program benefits, loans
or guarantees on all their land.
About 1,500 conservation plans
need to be developed in Madison
County in the next two years, Blevins
said. ' The sooner farmers ask for a
plan, the greater the chance that we
will get to everyone by the deadline,"
he said.
Only about 10 percent of the highly
erodible cropland was placed under a
conservation plan as of Oct. 1, 1987,
he said. "Our goal is to have <5 per
cent of this land under a conservation
plan by the end of 1988 and the rest by
the end of 198*," B levins said.
Because highly erodible land is not
always obvious to the eye, fanners
should check with their local SOS of
fice to see if they have land that
meets the criteria
Another option is to enroll in the
highly erodible cropland in the Con
servation Reserve Program (CRP).
Under the program, landowners
receive annual rental payments for
putting highly erodible cropland in
permanent cover such as grass or
trees. The next CEP signup will end
