Conservation in 1948 by Concentration
Evin Burke, chairman of the Scott County Agricultural Conservation Committee, says 1948 will stress needed practices with less overall aid. A $500 aid cap reduces total conservation, but many farmers previously received little anyway. Improved methods and machinery raise efficiency in terracing, dam construction, and diversion ditches as local needs drive farming toward better soil stewardship. The Herald vows to deliver best news.
