Conservation In Iowa Reaches New High
A record level of soil conservation work is underway in Iowa during National Soil Conservation Week. Iowa’s progress stems from collaboration among ASC SCS and state and county units, with 678 farmers joining cooperatives and 5,033 assisted in applying conservation practices in 1957. Terraces cover 1,033 miles, grassed waterways total 939 acres, and 7,230,200 feet of tile were laid in 1957, boosting overall watershed and wildlife habitat efforts across eight districts.
