Soil erosion is not one of the most sought after conservation movements today. Today's main focus is energy and environmental concerns. Soil erosion is significant, however, for various reasons. Currently, the Mississippi River is altering it natural course due to soil deposits from the northern portion. Additionally, soil ... in 1935, intensive efforts were made by both federal and state governments to develop adequate programs for soil conservation and for rehabilitation of the Dust Bowl. The measures taken have included seeding large areas in grass; 3-year rotation of wheat and sorghum an...
