THURBDAY, DEC. 11, I#W ACP TO STRESS SPECIAL CONSERVATION PRACTICE Secretary Freeman has announced that the 1966 ACP will stress to low-in come farmers, special beau tification-conservation prac tices, and conservation prac tices that help shift land from row and small grain crops to less-intensive uses. The 1966 ACP encourages conservation of soil, water, woodland, and wildlife on individual farms and ranch es by sharing cost of ap proved practices. Authorized funds are allocated among the States on the basis of conservation needs. Farmer-elected ASC com mittees will administer the program and will coordinate it with work plans of local soil and water conservation districts. USDA’s SCS and Forest Service are responsi ble for technical phases of certain practices. „ In announcing the 1966 ACP, Secretary Freeman said: “The Agricultural Con servation Program for 1966 marks the thirty-first year of a unique cooperation be tween farmers and go/em inent. The program contin ues to reflect current needs and conditions through an nual adjustments in ifcr■ pro visions, without changing its basic purpose the en couragement of conserva tion on privately owned farms and ranches. ACP serves as a conservation stimulus, contributing not only to improvement of na tural physical resources, but also to a better economic and recreational outlook in both rural and urban areas “The changes in program emphasis this vear are con sistent with and will help implement the policy of pro moting beautification and improved economic condi tions, adopted generally by the USDA and government as a whole."

Normally, the maxi mum Federal coat-share for each practice is the rate necessary to obtain the needed performance while representing a substantial contribution by the farmer or rancher, but not to exceed 50 percent of the cost. These ASCS committees are authorized to approve practice cost-sharing of up to 80 percent of the cost for low-ir come farmers. To be eligible for the higher rate of cost-sharing the appli- . cant must be largely de pendent on the farm for his livelihood. The farm fam ily’s total income must not exceed $3,000, and the coun- must find that ' the conservation measures approved for the higher rate would not be carried out without the higher rate.
