Farmers Increase Soil Erosion Controls Across Iowa
Iowa farmers expanded erosion control with over 9 million feet of terraces and diversion terraces plus 2.6 million feet of parallel terraces in 1965. The switch to parallel designs aides farming with 4, 6, and 8 row equipment and 30 inch spacing, aided by ACP cost sharing in 99 counties. SCS assisted over 18,000 ACP referrals and 82,000 farmer cooperators now operate conservation measures on more than 10 million acres with about 60,000 having formal farm conservation plans.
