Dam Wide Enough Farm Ponds Highlight Water Conservation
Iowa State College agricultural engineers stress wide dam bases to cut future maintenance. A southern Iowa farmer and neighbor completed a dam in about two percent of the early winter work period using own tractors and scoops. The dam sits on a three acre watershed, with a spillway six to eight feet wide and slopes of three to one upstream and two to one downstream. Water for livestock is supplied by a pipe.

Terracing Expands in Iowa Soil Conservation Program
Terracing, contour farming, and proper rotation are cited as the most complete erosion control. In 1954 Iowa built 2,906 miles of terraces, totaling 19,719 miles to date, with an estimated need of 449,230 miles. Each mile protects 10–15 acres, costing $150–$250 per mile, and the pace is rising as farmers recognize erosion protection benefits.
