Synopsis
This book examines the impact of the Soil Bank Program, implemented in 1956, on crop production and other aspects of agriculture in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions of Georgia. The program aimed to reduce surplus farm production, boost farm income, and promote the conservation of resources. The author analyzes the changes in land use, crop production, and the use of fertilizer, labor, machinery, and buildings. The book also explores the characteristics of participants and nonparticipants in the program, including their age, residence, and employment status. The author highlights the difficulties faced by farmers in hiring and maintaining an efficient workforce, leading many to participate in the program. The study reveals that the program contributed to adjustments in farm production and resource use, facilitating the removal of land from production on farms where conservation needs were high. It also provided a means for shifting less profitable units out of production and increasing income on most participating farms. The author emphasizes that the program assisted older farm workers who wanted to retire, as well as those making the transition to part-time or off-farm work.
