If so, be sure to comply with any acreage allotment on the farm and also to observe your permitted acreage of Soil Bank Base crops. That’s the reminder going out this week from the Forsyth Agri cultural Stabilization and Conserva tion office to all participants in the 1959 Soil Bank Program. Generally speaking, the permitted acreage on a Soil Bank farm is the amount of land on which grains, oilseeds, and row crops may be produced. It consists of the histori cal acreage of such crops less the amount of land placed in the Con servation Reserve. A farmer who exceeds this permitted acreage or any acreage allotment on the farm may lose his annual rental payment nd also be subject to civil penalty. The ASC office points out that when all eligible cropland on a farm is in the Soil Bank, the per mitted acreage is zero. The home garden area on such a farm may be used to produce crops for home use, for setting out forest trees or for l.on-agricultural purposes; but production of a Soil Bank base crop on such acreage is a contract violation. Business surge is continuing, Reserve Bank says. 1 County Population 15,000.
