Nation's RC&Ds see a strictly upbeat future speaker says
River Country RC&D coordinator Robert Feldt reported at the May meeting that Washington sent a strictly upbeat message about RC&Ds. The national mission focuses on erosion control flood prevention and water quality. New projects may resume and expansions to add counties are planned while some RC&Ds risk de authorization if inactive. Golden Sands RC&D will receive 25000 from a 5 million federal effort to boost employment opportunities as Wisconsin contemplates a shared coordinator plan with northern RC&Ds.

Conservation tillage show may not be held in 1984
Despite a successful March 8 show in Eau Claire the Western Wisconsin Conservation Tillage Show may not return until 1985. UW Extension official Bill Taubman notes a La Crosse event planned for 1984 could render an Eau Claire session unnecessary. The one day event drew 240 farmers, 75 students, 52 agency reps, 36 agri business reps and 34 others, with 142 farmers already practicing conservation tillage. Sixteen exhibitors filled 24 spaces, raising 2575 to cover 1700 in expenses and a 874 profit to fund conservation education materials. Officials will meet June 8 to decide profit use and future plans.
