Federal Land Use Program Nearing Completion in Gallia County
Gallia County moves to finish land use planning with Wayne McAfee reporting that all townships except Greenfield have formed committees. Maps identify land best for farming and areas challenging to cultivate, aiming to raise productivity and restore unproductive land to forest. The program, aligned with AAA and extension services, seeks higher farm output and forest restoration with government options on some land for the Wayne National Forest. Progressive farmers show strong interest as two-year efforts resume after a suspension.
