FARMERS TO BE PAID UNDER CROPLAND
... •
<. ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM
The 1966 Cropland Adjust
ment Program will offer far
mers an opportunity to di
vert cropland from the pro
duction of crops into con
serving uses for periods of
from five to ten years. This
program will give farmers a
chance to make long-term
plans in their farming oper
ation.
Farmers signing agree
ments under the Cropland
Adjustment Program will
earn diversion payments an
nually based on the value of
the crop or crops being di
verted from production. In
North Carolina, the pay
ments per acre of the var
ious commodities will be, as
follows: Cotton, 6 cents per
pound times the farm yield;
peanuts, 3V2 cents per pound
times the farm yield; tobac
co, 12 cents per pound times
cents peg bushel time the
farm yield; com, 47 cents
per bushel times the farm
yield; grain sorghum, 37
cents per bushel times farm
yield, and barley, 36 cents
per bushel time farm yield.
Tame hay land and non
allotment crops will go In at
a rate from $4.00 to $5 50 per
acre. The farm rates, on
tame hay and non-allotment

on the farm’s yield of feed
grains or wheat.
These diversion payments
will normally be made after
, October 1 of each year for
the term of the agreement.
In addition to the annual
diversion payments, farmers
may earn cost-sharing pay
ments for establishing an
approved cover on the de
signated acreage. These pay
ments will generally be about
the same as for similar prac
tices under the counties’ ag
ricultural conservation pro
grams.
Farmers will have a rood
selection of approved practi
ces that may be used on the
designated acreage. They
will Include permanent ve
getative cover, trees, farm
ponds, wildlife, and recrea
tion practices.
Most North Carolina far
mers can qualify for agree
ments unless ownership of
the land has changed in the
past three years. The farm
must have been operated or
had acreage diverted under
of the diversion pro
grams in 1965. If a farm.tr
wishes to sign up, he must
agree to divert all or one
commodity. He may then di
vert all of any of the other
commodities grown on the
farm.
