Oregon Farmers
Shift Cropland
To Grass, Trees
Over one-sixth of the farmers
in Oreeon took advantage of
cost-sharing opportunities offer
ed by the Agricultural Conser
vation Program (ACT) last year
as they shifted cropland into
grass and trees, according to the
State Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation (ASC) office
in Portland.
Nearly 6.500 farmers over the
state took Dart in the 1958 ACP,
the report indicated. These farm
ers put up over $2 mllion as
they matched money from the
Federal Government to carry out
conservation practices on their
farms.
Under the 1958 ACP, Oregon
farmers planted over 33,000 acres
of permanent cover on land ta
ken out of crop production, used
rotation cover crops on another
19,000 acres, reorganized irriga
tion systems serving over 63,000
acres, planted trees on 1,500
acres of farmland, and built 160
irrigation dams. Addl 1 1 o n a 1
thousands of crop areas were
shifted ' from soil depleting to
soil conserving uses under ACP,
the report added.
Through pooling agreements
allowed under ACP many state
farmers banded together to carry
out conservation practices involv
ing more than one farm. In
a total of 96 of these pooling
agreements last year, over 800
farmers improved drainage on
their farms, reorganized irriga
tion systems, built .irrigation
dams, and improved shore pro
tection along streams and lakes.
"We hear a lot about a bal
anced economy and a balanced
farm program", said J E Mc-
Bumey, Gaston, cnairman oi ine
State ASC Committee that ad
ministers the ACP in Oregon.
'The ACP not only helps farm
ers solve specific and urgent
conservation problems on their
farms where they need that help,
but also helps correct the cur
rent imbalance in agriculture by
diverting cropland to grass and
trees."
"And the total conservation ef
fort strengthens the land for the

future and helps assure future
citizens a ready supply of more
food and fiber when it may be
needed," McBurney added.
The ACP gives particular at
tention to conservation measures
that help farmers make a tran
sition from cropland to grass and
trees, McBurney stated. This
helps keep a protective cover on
land that otherwise might be
used for intensive crop produc,
tion, he explained.
Value of the program is indi
cated by its use by farmers the
last 5 years, McBurney said. For
instance, during VJoi-on over
107,000 acres in . Oregon were
seeded to permanent cover. These
seedlings will keep this land in
soil conservation use for at least
5 to 7 years, and in some cases
permanently.
Another 90 000 acres were
placed in rotation grass or le
gume seedings during the same
period, McBurney . added. These
seedings were in addition to the
normal acreage of such crops on
Oregon farms, and helped keep
this land out of intensive crop
use for at least 2 to 3 years.
Nearly 5,600 trees and
shrubs were planted on Ore
gon farms under the ACP dur
ing this 5 year period, McBurney
also said. These acres represent
permanent retirement of farm
land from field crops and pas
ture, he pointed out.
Over 1,600 water storage reser
voirs and livestock ' watering
ponds were built under the ACP.
Other thousands of acres of state
farm land were taken out of
production and put to soil-con-serving
uses as farmers took ad
vantage of other ACP land-use
and Improvement practices.
More information about ACP
practices, and opportunities open
to Oregon farmers under the
1960 ACP, is available at county
ASC offices or county extension
offices.
