Middlesex Soil Conservation District Reports 1954 Work
The Middlesex Soil Conservation District outlines 1954 staff changes and major achievements. In Pepperell and Concord units personnel shifts disrupted operations, yet farmers built 34 farm ponds, drained drainage ditches and tile drains, and cleared 230 acres for hay or pasture. Contour farming and other practices were implemented. Edward Brown and Luca Luhanik praised for sustaining progress. 1955 is expected to mirror or exceed prior gains barring catastrophes.
