Dr. Linden S. Dodson of the University of Maryland Extension Service says the Agricultural Conservation program may reshape rural life by encouraging soil preserving practices, selective land use, and woodlot development. He highlights a potential societal benefit: a developing “we-feeling” among farmers as they coordinate through county committees, linking farm welfare with urban wage earners and signaling a shift from pure self-reliance to broader social consciousness.
