Face of Land Changed in Southwest Wisconsin Soil Work
Roy H. Dingle notes the Coon Valley Watershed as world leading in soil and water conservation. Contour strip cropping transformed hills and valleys, with terraces, dams, and drainage reducing floods and boosting water for livestock. Local districts, farms, and state agencies funded and managed watershed projects. The Richland County record covers about 374000 acres through July 1, 1963.
