Diane Yeamans reports a near Americus water conservation demonstration on three neighboring farms. A \$20,000 system featuring a farm pond parallel terraces and a waterway was shown with Soil Conservation Service engineering.

Parallel terraces and ponds plan for flood control on farm
Kelliger outlines parallel terraces serving as temporary ponds holding water from a 5 percent rain for 24 hours, with cost higher yet offset by 15 percent gain in farming efficiency. ASCS may cover up to two thirds of the expense while drainage and stock water features are added, including a flood control pond, spillways, and a stock fence. Nearby conventional terraces, waterways, and grass seeding are being developed to drain 57 acres, foster hay production, and manage erosion amid drought conditions and crop variety evaluations.
