Lincoln County pioneers manual mapping for soil erosion plan
Lincoln County uses a manual mapping process to identify erosion hot spots in a pilot conservation program funded by the ag department. Julie MacSwain notes this approach, the first of its kind in the state, relies on 1979 to 1983 soil survey data and office work without computers.

Top SCS official slated for USDA promotion
Peter C. Myers, head of the Soil Conservation Service for over two and a half years, is reported to be promoted to assistant secretary of agriculture for natural resources and environment. He is undergoing security clearance and could be announced soon. Myers, a 53-year-old Missouri farmer, would succeed John B. Crowell Jr. who plans to leave. The potential move draws mixed reaction from conservation groups and lawmakers. Wisconsin dairy cattle exports rose 63 percent in 1984, aided by trade missions to China, London, Hong Kong, Japan, Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia, while grain inspections at Milwaukee rose about 40 percent to 75 million bushels.
