Soil Conservation

As you drive across Kansas or Nebraska, you can’t help but notice the work of the Department of Agriculture in preventing erosion and saving soils.  Crops are planted on the contour, terraces are common on hillsides, and what at one time would have been gullies are now sod waterways. 


When someone shows up at your door and says, “I’m from the government and I am here to help you,” he or she could really be there to help you.  Thousands of midwest farmers who followed Department of Agriculture conservation guidelines can testify to that.
