3 Point Program Needed By Robert H Fuller
The Great Plains Conservation Program aims to speed the Great Plains Program from the Department of Agriculture and the Great Plains Agricultural Council to help farmers minimize climatic hazards and erosion. It offers long term fed era cost shares to establish soils and water conservation measures under a workable plan of operation with three required elements. Contracts run three to ten years with plans and schedules agreed with the contracting officer A J Longley. Costs shares paid after each practice or unit are completed and payments can be requested with plan changes possible by mutual agreement. The list of twenty six farmers who signed Great Plains Contracts in 1962 is given, and readers are urged to visit the Soil Conservation office with questions.

Every Drop Of Rain Is Important
Range conservationist Glen P Snell urges Finney County ranchers to use every raindrop on rangeland. He notes one inch of water can add 150 to 200 pounds of grass per acre and explains how plant litter protects soil, with grazing limits to preserve last year’s growth and boost infiltration.
