Soil conservation districts form the powerless government
The article explains how Pennsylvania created soil conservation districts to coordinate multiple agencies and private groups. It notes districts are voluntary and run by farmer directors plus a county commissioner, with power to hire staff, own buildings, and enact conservation practices. It previews next week's focus on district potential and farmer cooperation. It ends with a teaser about the Pennsylvania 4-H Congress on June 26-29 at Penn State, drawing 45,000 members.
