Great Plains Conservation Act Extended for Texas Lands
The Great Plains Conservation Program gains a ten year extension to 1981 with $150 million more in federal funds. Texas activity includes 10,908 contracts covering 13.7 million acres and about $37 million in cost shares, while 1,200 farmers have applications on file. Nearly 2 million acres have been restored to grassland, but only 15 percent of needed work has been completed.
