Six Iowa districts approved for soil erosion control bill
The Iowa Senate approved a six district soil conservation bill to limit erosion on all soils, with 75 percent public funding and 25 percent landowner costs. The measure would empower the Iowa Soil Conservation Committee to order improvements and could lead to court action to enforce permanent practices. The bill, sent back to the House, faced debate over wind erosion controls and funding. A separate appropriations bill would provide 95,694 dollars biennially for implementation.
