Wildlife habitat help in pothole region farm drainage
The Soil Conservation Service supports drainage in pothole country when wildlife values are considered, outlining policies from 1956 and noting districts cover 78 of 86 pothole counties. Since operations began, over 500 thousand acres have been drained with SCS help, while some 14 thousand ponds add permanent water for waterfowl and agriculture, complemented by wildlife habitat work totaling 83,500 acres and ongoing biologist-led measures in three states.
