Encouraging Outlook For Soil Conservation Work In Nebraska
The Soil Conservation Service with Nebraska Soil and Water Conservation Commission and Neighborhood Youth Conservation Corps funds aided by farmers and contractors has met workload. Training of contractors reduced technician time. a good wheat crop boosted conservation projects in late 1966 and should rise next year. Many farms show extensive conservation, though much land remains prone to wind and water erosion.

Huge Earthen Dam Nears Completion in Cheyenne County
A large earthen dam on Roy Nelson farm six miles east of Potter and one mile north of Highway 30 nears completion. It is a joint effort by Nelson, Mrs. Harry Anderson, and Cheyenne County commissioners to curb floods along Lodgepole Creek and protect four vulnerable bridges on Herdon Road. The 500 foot long, 35 foot high dam holds 40 000 cubic yards of soil and 480 acre feet of water, with 32 acre feet permanent storage, and aims to inspire more flood control projects via terraces and additional dams across the county.
