One Thousandth Soil District Pact Signed in Jasper County
Eugene Dayton signed the Jasper County Soil District agreement in a 1955 ceremony at his eighty acre farm five miles north of Lynnville seven miles from Grinnell. Stuart McCracken witnessed and planned a soil survey and conservation plan to improve tillage, pasture, and rotations. The district, established in 1942, has grown under John G. Wilson leadership with cooperation from ASC Extension Service and schools, hosting upcoming 1956 field day and plowing match. Marion County previously marked the thousandth agreement in 1954.
