I dont even remember the name of that program but it was called Soil Bank in the 60s.Its been changed a few times since then.It wasnt a bad idea for farmers really.I think it was every year they would go to the county ASC office and decide using aerial maps what land they put in the Soil Bank.They planted sweet clover or something on it and mowed it in August or September and got a paycheck from the government which was as good or better than growing corn on it.That was when they grew a huge surplus of corn.Of course some farmers never planted anything on it,or mowed anything,and still got their check.There were other conditions along with it but I dont remember all that well what it was.They were still doing this in the 1990s and may still be doing it,I just dont know what they call it now.
