Excerpt from 1942 Agricultural Conservation Program for the North Central Region The 1942 Farm Program gives all farmers an opportunity to work together to save their soil and its fertility, to earn a fair share of the national income, to assure consumers of abundance, and to increase the production of the commodities needed for national defense. Farmers who cooperate in the '1942 program will be able to earn payments by using approved soil-building practices to build up their soil, and by planting within acreage allotments for corn, wheat, tobacco, cotton, and potatoes. Full payments for planting within allotments can be earned only if at least 20 percent of the cropland on the farm is devoted to approved soil-conserving uses. Farmers Who cooperate in the program can also obtain commodity loans, parity payments, and wheat and cotton crop insurance.
