Terraces Push Farmers Toward Conservation Programs
Agricultural economist Melvin G. Blase of the Agricultural Research Service in My Town State College says terraces contouring and other soil saving practices make conservation economical for hill land farmers. He notes past objections stemmed from rotations and income loss, but new machine assisted methods reduce erosion while keeping profits with Town row crops. More farmers are adopting soil conservation plans as costs lower and yields stay viable.
