Excerpt from Progress in Application of Soil-Conserving Practices: Southwestern Wisconsin, April 1957
Soil losses have been severe on many farms in Wisconsin since the beginning of cultivation nearly a century ago. This is true of most soils in Sauk, Richland, Juneau, Vernon, and Monroe Counties in southwestern Wisconsin, but it is especially true of the gale-hixton soils.
Concerted action to obtain adequate soil conservation was begun in 1940 through the establishment of a soil conservation district in each of the 5 counties. After 15 years, 45 percent of the farmers were cooper ating in the soil conservation district program.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the implementation of soil conservation practices in southwestern Wisconsin between 1940 and 1955. The author, a USDA researcher, conducted a study of 127 farms to understand farmers' attitudes toward conservation efforts and the practical effects of such efforts on crop production, income, and livestock numbers. The study revealed high initial participation in soil conservation programs, with nearly half of farmers cooperating with soil conservation districts by 1940. However, the author found that implementation of planned practices varied considerably, with some farmers achieving high levels of conservation while others lagged. The study also highlighted farmers' concerns about erosion control, the challenges of implementing contour strips and terraces, and the need for technical assistance in conservation planning. Despite these challenges, the author found that farms with higher conservation scores had higher crop yields and net farm income per acre. The book provides valuable insights into the challenges and successes of soil conservation efforts in the mid-20th century and offers lessons that remain relevant to contemporary conservation practices.
