Conservation Highlights of SCS 1972 Progress
A 1972 summary from the Soil Conservation Service shows over a million farmers and landowners received technical help, 26 600 units of state and local government support, and dams and channels preventing about 48 million dollars in damage. Local benefits reach 56 million, as sediment and grassland improvements aid water quality. The Great Plains program grew with 2400 new contracts on nearly five million acres, and total contracts since the mid 1950s reach 42 524. Soil surveying exceeded 42 million acres. 36 percent of US land surveyed. Six new plant releases aid erosion control, reflecting growing resource conservation needs and public action.
