Burnett Cooperator Mason County SnI1, CONSERVATION DISTRICT Assisted by UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE' SOIL CONSERVATION SERVWX s. I • t THIS CONSERVATION PLAN is the result of teamwork. You and your neighbors, the members of the governing body of your soil conservation district, and the men of the Soil Conservation Service worked together to make it. ' YOUR SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT was formed by local farmers. You are a mem- ber of that district. The district was created to serve you. Making this conservation plan is just one way in which the district can help you. THE. SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE men helped work up this plan. They mapped your land to find out about its soil, slope, and how much erosion there had been. They looked at other things that needed to be known so as to develop the best conservation plan for ,your land. They helped in planning for the best use of the cropland, grazing land, woodland, and wildlife land. Where construction was needed, they gave engineer- ing help. For maps and other special help, they went to their regional and State men. Back of these men are the national staff of the Soil Conservation Service and the various Federal and State research stations. You got the best help known in soil and water con- servation on this plan. YOUR CONSERVATION PLAN will bring results only after you have carried out the practices planned for each field. When you Lave done this you will find that conservation farming protects your land and makes it produce better crops. On most farms conserva- tion farming also pays more. The sooner you can do the things your plan calls for the sooner you will be able to get the benefits of conservation farming. If you need technical help to put the practices on your land you can get it through your district. YOUR CONSERVATION PRACTICES will need attention from time to time to stay in good working order. The plan has been made to require as little upkeep work as possible. But this upkeep is important—it's like a stitch in time. A little work on upkeep, done when needed, will avoid costly repairs. YOUR CONSERVATION PLAN should be a blueprint for your farming operations for many years. You can adjust the plan if markets, prices, or other things make it wise to do so. If you need trained help to make the adjustments you can get it through your soil conservation district. YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS can put conservation practices on the land faster and at lower cost by working together, sharing equipment, and exchanging ideas. It will also be easier to keep your practices working right. YOU, more than anyone else, hold the responsibility of making this plan a success. Its success, and its benefit to you, your community, and the Nation will depend largely on your interest and belief in, and practice of, soil and water conservation and good land use.
