Great Plains Hit by Wind Erosion Says Soil Service
The U S Soil Conservation Service reports wind erosion damaged 189,900 acres in the Great Plains during the last two months of 1967, down from 200,270 a year earlier. Most damage occurred in the Northern Great Plains, with North Dakota hardest hit. Land considered likely to blow numbered 4,006,090 acres, up from 2,600,000 a year ago, mainly in the Southern Great Plains. Weather, especially precipitation deficits, will influence later damage.
