More than 2,000 farmers and
ranchers in 352 counties in the
ten Great Plains States made
contracts with the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agricuture to develop
soil and water conservation
plans for their lands during the
fiscal year of 1960. These con-
tracts covered more than 5.5
million acres, the USDA said.
This brought the number of
plans and contracts to almost
4,900 covering over 13 million
acres at the end of the fiscal
year. An additional 3,084 appli-
cations covering nearly two
million acres at the end of the
fiscal year. An additional 3,-
084 applications covering near-
ly two million acres, had been
filed at year’s end.
The program is designed to
speed-up soil and water con-
servation measures, through a
complete farm or ranch plan
of operations, that will bring
about a greater degree of ag-
ricultural stability in the Great
Plains where drought, high
winds, blizzards, hail and hard
rains are not infrequent. It
applies to designated counties
in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Ok-
lahoma, South Dakota, Texas
and Wyoming.
Lynn Pittard, soil and water
conservation specialist, Texas
Agricultural Extension Service,
said that currently, 915 farmers
and/or ranchmen in 85 coun-
ties have applications on file
and that active contracts total
2,157. These contracts cover
approximately 4.1 million acres,
Pittard said.
Included in the contracts and
plans, developed with assist-
ance from the Soil Conservation
Service are such practices as
converting cropland to grass,
planned range reseeding and
many other permanent - type
conservation practices.
In carrying out their conser-
vation plans, under contracts
ranging from 3 to 10 years, par-
ticipants established one or
more of 24 practices eligible for
cost sharing, Pittard said.
The Great Plains Conserva-
tion Program, Public Law 1021,
became law August 7, 1956.
First contracts and plans were
signed in December 1957.
