Two cost share programs aid conservation practices
Iowa offers two cost share programs for erosion and pollution control. The federal Agricultural Conservation Program, run by USDA ASCS, and the Iowa Cost-sharing Program, run through the local soil conservation district. Applications to the ACSC program must be filed by March 31, 1977, at the Pocahontas ASCS office.

Ten benefits of drainage by Melville L Palmer and plan to release
Extension Agricultural Engineer Melville L. Palmer of Ohio State University lists ten drainage benefits including better soil aeration and root growth, improved moisture conditions for equipment, longer growing seasons, higher nitrogen availability, quicker spring warming, removal of toxins and pathogens, and reduced soil erosion as well as a state cost share for terraces and related structures scheduled to be released after funds become available.

Rainfall management and soil moisture effects on crops
The text notes that rainfall reduces runoff and supports deeper root growth enabling better drought resistance. High spring water tables from poor drainage limit root depth and soil moisture access. Drainage of hillside seeps and piping supply livestock water, while favorable soil moisture improves crop yields and quality.
