Winning essays on soil conservation by area students
A two part series on soil conservation features student essays from Christina Jonson Coppell School and Lynda Hairey Addison School. It argues soil conservation is a national priority, with Wind-Erosion Project origins in 1984, and explains soil, cover crops, windbreakers, terracing, contour tillage and strip cropping as farmer benefits. It notes educators, bankers, merchants, and families all have roles in promoting sustainable soil practices. The essay highlights farmers' profits, land value, loan repayment, and community support. It also includes baking advice about greased paper removal from pans.
