Franklin County Soil Conservation District Organizes Local Plan

Conservation district formed in 1941 by farmer and landowner referendum. It operates as a self governed unit of state government, not a federal agency, with a board of supervisors directing a county wide conservation program. The district aims to develop land use plans on each farm using soil capability and protection needs, with SCS and other agencies providing assistance. District officers include Leslie C. Hunter as chairman and Bernard A. Fischer as vice chairman, among others.
