Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the findings of a study conducted in the late 1950s regarding the effects of the Soil Bank Conservation Reserve Program, an effort to adjust agricultural production, conserve natural resources, and boost farm income. The study was targeted at two areas in Maine and included interviews with farm owners who had participated and those who had not. Findings show differences between participating and non-participating farms, with smaller, less diversified participating farms averaging lower productivity levels. Rental payment rates increased from the regular program to the bid program to the 1959 program, attracting more productive land to the reserve. The author concludes that the program had a number of effects on participating farms, including reductions in crop production and livestock numbers, and increases in the use of trees and the sale of farm machinery. Overall, the Conservation Reserve Program was found to be helping farmers adjust to long-term changes in the agricultural landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781390538922_0
