Soil and Water Conservation Methods in Cotton Farming

James C. Hausner


 
ABSTRACT

1. We salute the past... Embrace the present ... Anticipate the future... American agriculture has made great accomplishments. We have learned a great deal since the dust bowl days of the thirties. Cotton farmers have been active in improving techniques to maximize yields and minimize sail erosion. But ... somewhere along the line a serious economic crisis developed. We are now faced with the challenge of building a profitable balance between economic survival, conservation mandates, and market-or-government-controlled agriculture.
