The county board, of each county, may contract | ||||
with persons
growing row crops on land adjacent to county | ||||
highways to buy standing strips
of such crops to remain in | ||||
place to act as snow breaks along such highways
in those places | ||||
where experience shows that drifting snow has been an
| ||||
obstruction to traffic. The contract price to be paid by the | ||||
county board in any such
case shall be the higher of the market | ||||
price in the local area of
such crop at the time of contracting | ||||
