of soil and water conservation.
Peterson is the new president of
the American Society of Farm
Managers and Rural Appraisers.
“I remember a ranch I once
managed in Wyoming,” he says.
“It has been overgrazed before I
took it over. I worked with that
ranch for 6 years and we still
hadn’t gotten the native grass back
to where it should be.”
As a board member and former
president of the Jefferson Soil
Conservation District, Peterson
knows a lot about soil and water
conservation - and consults with

In Missouri, farm manager Joe
Harris II says he looks on soil
conservation favorably not only
from a sound economic and in
vestment standpoint, but also
because “it makes good sense. If
the soil is eroded, it hurts the
client, it hurts us.”
Harris works for Doane Farm
Management Co., whose vice
president, Joel A. McNeill, calls
himself a conservationist.
To McNeill, the whole mood of
the country has changed since the
seventies.

soil and water conservation and
they’re concerned about it,”
McNeill said. “J think the private
sector has a responsiblity to take
the initiative to manage resources
intelligently.”
Nationally, USDA’s Soil Con
servation Service gives technical
help to land users in combating
erosion and water problems
through some 3,000 local soil and
water conservation districts.
Participation in conservation
programs is voluntary.
“It’s encouraging,” said Myers,
“to see so many farm managers
speak out strongly for con
servation. In this coming year, we
plan to step up our efforts to work
them. Many local conservation
districts and soil conservationists
already are making extra efforts

The Only Thing We Didn’t Put
Into Our New Super Z Milk
Cooler Was .i The Milk.
Zero's Super Z It's the complete bulk milk
tank At least a great improvement on any
you've seen before, certainly a revolution in
design, and perhaps even the ultimate
to reach this important segment of
the farm community.
“We’re also working Co develop
more cost-effective ways to do
conservation. The more we can do
in that area, the more we can
protect our soil and water
resources.”
