Wind damages
680,000 acres
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
More than 680,000 acres of
land were damaged by wind
erosion in the Great Plains
during the last two months of
1978, according to R.M.
Davis, administrator of the
U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Soil Con
servation Service (SCS).
Reports from the 10-state
area indicate wind damage
on 682,254 acres, down from
1,430,200 acres damaged
during the same period in
1977. Montana, with 231,040
acres, accounted for more
than 33 per cent of the total.
The Northern Plains states
were hardest hit, accounting
for 60 per cent of the
damaged acreage.
Davis indicated the major
factors contributing to wind
erosion this season were

endeavor at a meeting of the
Agricultural Education Divi
sion of the American Voca
tional Association (AVA).
After the presentation, the
attending group voted
unanimous cooperation and
support for the project. Hen
drickson, national chairman
of the fund drive for the FFA
Foundation, explained that
the purpose was actually
fourfold:
• Protecting and preserving
FFA’s history,
• Presenting the story of
today’s FFA through perma
nent exhibits and displays,
• Recognizing the support
and leadership of FFA’s
many friends, and to
• Serving all FFA
members and related groups
as an active learning and
resource center for FFA pro
grams and activities.
“It will be a source of in
formation and pride, as well
as a record of accomplish
ment by FFA chapters and
individuals,” said H.N. Hun-
contmued cropping of sandy
soils, lack of adequate plant
growth and residues, and
lack of soil moisture in some
areas. Plant residue often
was baled for cattle feed
rather than left on the soil
surface, he said.
More than 85 per cent of
the 1978 damage was to
cropland. SCS rated land
damaged if enough soil has
been removed or deposited
to subject the land to further
erosion hazard or to impair
its productive capacity.
Wind also destroyed crops or
cover on 21,970 additional
acres of land not damaged.
SCS compiles wind erosion
reports covering seven
months, November through
May each year, using data
supplied by almost 550
counties in the Great Plains.
