Soil Erosion Control Effort Marks Four Decades
Federal state and local governments have cooperated for nearly 40 years to reduce soil erosion through 3000 conservation districts. The program relies on farmer and landowner cooperation, scientific plans, and agency support, with new emphasis on sediment control and upcoming model state sediment laws. Kansas Governor’s Salina conference aimed to advance erosion prevention and sediment control, aligning with federal proposals and state action.
