depend,” he said “Rural
America is a place to live,
but it is also where our
agricultural plant is
located ”
Bertrand said the con
servation of rural resources
and communities is not
going to be easy “We now
recognize that much worth
saving in rural America is
threatened and that
something needs to be done
about it ”
He said recent studies by
the USDA make clear that
demand on rural resources
will continue to grow rapidly
in the years ahead
“If current trends persist,
demand for timber will more
than double by 2030, water
consumption will mcrease

by 60 percent, and demand
for range grazing will rise by
40 percent,” he said.
Soil erosion will continue
to be a problem, with ad
verse impacts on crop yields
and water quality
“We are currently losmg
some 4 billion tons of soil a
year to all types of erosion,
despite 47 years of federal
soil conservation
programs,” he said.
Bertrand cited problems
such as prime farmland
being converted to nonfarm
purposes, the diminishing
supply of irrigation water,
and the vanishing wetlands.
“We are not facing a crisis
today, nor do I believe we
will face one tomorrow,”
Bertrand said “I am saying
that if we go on as we
have, there is certain trouble
down the road
“If we take more good
land out of farming, if our
yields level off, if soil erosion
continues unbated, if
demand continues to in
crease someday we will
run short of food and fiber It
may first come in a drought
year, or when unexpected
crop disease takes its toll
“Secretary of Agriculture
Bergland has called current
trends a ‘collision course
with disaster ’ But trends
don’t have to come true
These projections are
nothing more than warning
signals, and a wise nation
can heed those warnings and
take steps to turn things
around ”
Bertrand said it would be
useful to emphasize a few
basic principles in
developing a national
strategy for rural con
servation He recommended
providmg rural people with
more information about
resource management;
more attractive incentives
for land users to apply soil
and water conservation
techniques; better
management of private
forest lands; adequate
research and extension help
and conservation assistance
directed to the needs of the
small farm; and coor
dination of federal, state and
local efforts to serve rural
people
Bertrand closed his ad
dress by urging that con
tinuity in rural America be
preserved and that we not
forget our past as we wrestle
with the problems of the
future
