What US Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (7 USC ch 33): Farm Tenancy, Land Conservation and Utilization requires
The Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (7 U.S.C. ch. 33, sections 1000 to 1040) is a United States statute addressing farm tenancy, rural credit, and the conservation and utilization of land, administered by the Secretary of Agriculture through the Farm Service Agency. Section 1000 sets the short title. Section 1006a authorizes the Secretary to make loans to homestead or desertland entrymen and to purchasers of land in reclamation projects, secured by mortgages creating liens, and permitting deferral of repayment for a period of up to two years. Section 1010 authorizes and directs the Secretary to develop a program of land conservation and land utilization, including the retirement of submarginal land from cultivation, in order to correct maladjustments in land use and to assist in controlling soil erosion and protecting natural resources. Section 1011 sets out the powers of the Secretary to protect, improve, develop, and dispose of property acquired under the program, to cooperate with other agencies, and to make rules regulating the use and occupancy of such property, and provides that no appropriation shall be made for any single loan under the relevant subsection in excess of 500,000 dollars, with water storage costs not exceeding 30 per centum of the total estimated cost. Section 1035 governs the sale of reserved mineral interests. The Act is a foundational federal instrument for farm tenancy assistance and land utilization.
