Plan to Fight Soil Erosion in Cape Town Drive
The Division of Soil and Veld Conservation launches a large scale experiment to curb erosion on severely degraded farms. It will re employ 100000 men in post war rebuilding while offering technical and financial aid to landowners. States may buy and reclaim farms too eroded for private cost. Owners may retain preemption rights and may be compensated for resting veld. A future bonus may apply to owners who implement and maintain erosion control measures.
