Soil Service Meets Many Goals As Indicated By Annual Report
The Cheyenne County Soil Conservation Service reports progress in land conservation and water preservation during 1962. Sixty-eight cooperators signed agreements, with hundreds of plans written or revised, and ACP funds supported large projects improving flood and erosion control. Local support from commissioners, extension agents, and public media aided education and outreach, including an annual Conservation Edition and an aerial tour program.

Keith Sprenger First To Sign Great Plains Contract
Keith Sprenger from the Sidney Draw area west of Sidney becomes the first local signer of a Great Plains conservation contract. He implements terraces and strip farming on cropland, a stubble mulch program, and 13 water diversion ditches on pasture land to control runoff. Five wells provide stock water, enabling better grazing management and replanting 105 acres to grass.
