( 2-6-5)
(a) The Cooperative Extension Service is authorized and directed to
formulate for each calendar year and to submit to the secretary of
agriculture of the United States for and in the name of this state,
a state plan for carrying out the purposes of this article during
such calendar year. (b) The Cooperative Extension Service is authorized to modify or
revise any such plan in whatever manner, consistent with the terms
of this article, it finds necessary to provide for the more
substantial accomplishment of the purposes of this article. (c) Each such plan shall provide for such participation in its
administration by such voluntary county and community committees or
associations of agricultural producers, organized for such purposes,
as the Cooperative Extension Service determines to be necessary or
proper for the effective administration of the plan. (d) Each such plan shall provide, through agreements with
agricultural producers or through other voluntary methods: (1) For such adjustments in the utilization of land, in farming
practices, and in the acreage or in the production for market, or
both, of agricultural commodities as the Cooperative Extension
Service determines to be calculated to effectuate as substantial
an accomplishment of the purposes of this article as may
reasonably be achieved through action of this state; and (2) For payments to agricultural producers, in connection with
such agreements or methods, in such amounts as the Cooperative
Extension Service determines to be fair, reasonable, and
calculated to promote such accomplishment of the purposes of this
article without depriving such producers of a voluntary and
uncoerced choice of action. (e) Any such plan shall provide for such educational programs as the
Cooperative Extension Service determines to be necessary or proper
to promote the more substantial accomplishment of the purposes of
this article. (f) Each such plan shall contain an estimate of expenditures
necessary to carry out such plan, together with a statement of such
amount as the Cooperative Extension Service determines to be
necessary to be paid by the secretary of agriculture of the United
States as a grant in aid of such plan under Section 7 of the federal
Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, in order to provide
for the effective carrying out of such plan and shall designate the
amount and due date of each installment of such grant, the period to
which such installment relates, and the amount determined by the
Cooperative Extension Service to be necessary for carrying out such
plan during such period. (g) The Cooperative Extension Service shall provide for such
investigations as it finds to be necessary for the formulation and
administration of such plans. |
