Award winner.
Guest speaker for the meeting
was R. Neil Sampson, a noted
writer and photograper who
authored conservation books,
“Look to the Land” and “Far
mland or Wasteland; A Time to
Choose.”
Sampson, a graduate of the
University of Idaho with a degree
in agronomy and a masters in
public relations from Harvard
University, has worked with the
Soil Conservation Service and
speaks highly of the need for
continued conservation practices.
On a state level, Sampson said
more attention to conservation
practices is needed. “We need
more on conservation practices to
help push us toward profitable
measures to lead to increased
production,” he said.
A coordinated, balanced effort
between the government and
farmers is needed, he said, to
make necessary conservation
practices.
“Washington won’t solve the
problems,” Sampson said of soil
erosion and nonproductive land.
“We need to recognize the problem
ourselves and lean in the same
direction to solve those problems.”
Sampson offers one solution to
farmers’ growing financial and
land problems. “The answer is
