Many Iowa Farmers Seek SCS Technical Assistance
In six months about 3,900 Iowa farmers asked the U.S. Soil Conservation Service for technical help with erosion. State conservationist Frank Mendell reported at Ames that demand rose while field technicians struggle to keep pace. The half year figures cover 683,000 acres, part of a total 6,600,000 acres under district co operators. Technicians aided programs to 36,200 acres in the period.

2 500 farmers finished complete farm conservation plans while 1 400 fewer than new applications appeared in the period. John K. Maddy, local SCS planner, notes Plymouth County Soil Conservation District follows the state trend. He cites 68 farmers applying for technical help and 27 completing plans, adding that neighbor group efforts could speed future progress.
