Farmers Use All of Funds Offered
For 1953 Conservation Practl.es
McCulloch County farmers used i
ery penny of funds available,
d< r the Agricultural Conseiwa- j
m Program last. year. In fact,I
county exceeded its allocation i
*11.000.
The AGP shares the rost with
rmers who carry out certain all-
oyed conservation practices, ter-,
ring, planting of grasses, etc., j
d in l!»5:t McCulloch County
is given *94,458 for the pro-(
am.
That entire amount was obll- j
ted last January at the start of:
e program when farmers’ con-1
rvalon plans were approved. In
ditfon there were other farmers
io received "tentative appro-
ls"— with the understanding
at they would be paid If funds
• re left over In other counties
the end of the year.
The total value of ACP prac-
tices carried out in McCulloch
County last, year was *105,065
or almost *11.000 more than the
county’s allocation.
“It appear* likely, however, that
under earnings In other counties
of Texas will make It possible for
McCulloch producer- who carried
out practices without guaranteed
assistance to receive full payment
Payment will not be made un-
til this fact is definitely determin-
ed hy the State Committee," John
Shurtleff. secretary of the county
A SC said
• * »
Under the 1954 ACP. 24 Mc-
Culloch farmers already have re-
reived prior approval for assis-
tance with conservation plans.
Farmers must have their plans ap-
proved before starling work. Un-
like last year, however, they may
sign up at any time during 1954.
