Secretary of Agriculture announces that 1,126,000 farmers joined the Agricultural Conservation Program from 1962 to 1967, aided by ASC community committeemen who recruited non-conservation farmers and directed cost share funds for new participants and low income producers. The program began in 1936 to curb erosion and protect farmland through soil and water conservation measures.
