Grassland program spurred by 1930s drought aids land use shifts
The USDA credits grass and legume introductions with expanding grassland by 189 million acres from 1929 to 1959, converting over 45 million acres of cropland to grass since 1956 in Plains states and boosting value from livestock and poultry. The program supports erosion control, soil conservation, and rural recreation development.
