Terraces control gullies and provide permanent contour farming guidelines. They more than double water storage efficiency for crops, reduce nutrient loss, protect lower land from erosion or flooding, and enable greater production of small grains and raw crops with less erosion.

Rural ponds reshape American landscapes across 30 years
Gilbert W. Egbert, chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation state committee, says ACP aided farmers built nearly 2 million water storage ponds since the early 1950s. About 60 000 ponds are added yearly, with 9 000 to 19 000 in flood prevention areas. Ponds vary in style and purpose from livestock water to erosion control and wildlife habitat, boosting landscape beauty and offering new recreation.

Cropland Adjustment Program Aimed at 1967 Production Shifts
The 1967 Cropland Adjustment Program expects to curb surpluses by targeting crops like cotton and tobacco while allowing 30 to 35 million base acres to return to production and more than 2 million acres from expiring Conservation Reserve contracts. Kansas receives 1,021,000 dollars for CAP with signup beginning December 1. Participants get crop and conservation cost-sharing, with payments 6 to 10.20 dollars per acre for eligible cropland and 39 to 53 cents per bushel for corn and grain sorghum, depending on yield.
