Secretary of .Agriculture John K
Block recently proposed the largest
single soil conservation initiative in
the history of American agriculture
a 10 year. $11 billion conservation
reserve which would take up to 20
million acres of highly erodible
cropland oul of production
Nothing in this nation is more
precious than the natural resources
which produce our lood and liber,"
said Block
"Yet. we have I wen
compelled to work with farm pro
grams which encourage production
on land that should never have been
the blade of a plow."
" I am asking congress to join me
in seriously addressing the problem
by including this proposal in the 1985
term MU M m k added " l U m M
also point out that this proposal is
consistent with tny strong support
for a sodbuster provision in the farm
bill which would make producers
ineligible for federal farm program
henefits if they produce crops on
highly erodible land "
Coder the proposal, the Depart
mrnl of Agriculture and partici
paling farmers would share the cost
of planting protective grass or trees
on eligible land At least Hi percent
of the reserve would be earmarked
lor tree planting and maintenance
I ’m looking to have somewhere in
the ncightiorhood ol one billion trees
planted on this land and that has to
make a great difference in our
ability to protect this soil." Block
said
Conservation reserve payments
made to the farmers would provide
a modest level of income support
during the Id y car transition from
row crop farming to other enter
prises, Block added
Block said the reserve would
reduce soil erosion on land which is
enrolled in the program by nearly 20

tons an acre yearly
Also, a
successful program would improve
water quality, curb production of
surplus commodities and thus help
increase commodity prices received
by farmers
Other environmental
benefits would include better habitat
for fish and wildlife and reduced
sedimentation in streams and along
roads
l SDA studies show that one out of
every eight acres of cropland in the
l’ S
53 million acres of a lotal 421
million acres of cropland would be
eligible for the reserve
Block said the proposed reserve is
consistent with his overall thrust
towards developing a long trrm
agricultural poltlcy and would help
bring greater consistency between
the conservation and commodity
programs
While the gross outlays for the
reserve would be about $11 billion
over 10 years it's important to point
out that thev will be offset to a large
degree by reduced outlays for
annual loans, deficiency payments
and storage costs under existing
commodity programs. Block said
We should also keep in mind that
this is re prioritising existing funds
I strongly believe il is far hettrr to
use this money for conservation than
on annual acreage reduction pro
grams "
Other details of the proposal in
elude
Farmers would submit bids on
the cost share payments they would
accept and the amount of acreage to
lie enrolled
Grazing and harvesting bay on
reserve lands would tie prohibited
No producer would receive more
than $50.txx) in reserve payments
yearly
No more than 25 percent of the
cultivated cropland in a county
could In- enrolled in the reserve
