SCS Goals Change With The Times
The Soil Conservation Service traced aims from soil erosion control in the 1930s to broader programs in hydrology drainage and urban rural needs through the 1960s and 1970s. District Conservationist Charles Weickert notes a three fold plan to improve environment resources and living standards while facing a personnel ceiling since 1968 and growing demand for layout work. The state office seeks funds to finish soil surveys and plan watershed programs amid already active watershed projects in Kansas including Potawatomie and Tally Creeks.
