Conservation Reserve
Program |
|
|
|
| **** |
Amount paid by FSA for
disaster payments, conservation programs and for participation in voluntary
farm programs in cotton, corn, grain sorghum,
oats, and wheat. |
|
|
|
|
| 1) |
Growers increased
adoption of conservation tillage to approx. 20,000 acres (16,000 ac. cotton
and 4,000 ac. peanuts). |
|
|
|
| 2) |
Growing
conditions were hot and dry throughout the season. Rainfall was extremely
limited and scattered during April – June. As a
result, many cotton fields were planted two or three times. This resulted in
delayed crop emergence and skippy stands in many fields. Drought conditions
persisted throughout the season. |
