Texans urged to press senators on soil and water conservation funding
Elm Creek Conservation Association leads Texans in asking Senators Morris Sheppard and Tom Connally to maintain current federal funding for soil and water conservation. The Elm Creek district is the nation’s largest, with 69 districts forming in Texas and 56 million acres to cover.
