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 cr…op 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.
