Photograph of Joe Bob Hall, of the Work Unit Conservationist and the Soil Conservation Service [WUC, & SCS], checks the effectiveness of wind control measures that this District Cooperator has established. This field is Soil Unit 70, subject to severe wind erosion without effective cover. Rye and vetch were seeded in this field in sudan stubble. A seed crop was harvested from the sudan, and the ungrazed stubble left to protect the land until the rye and vetch could provide sufficient growth. There were nearby fields without cover that were damaged by wind erosion this season. OK-253-7.
The Oklahoma Conservation Historical Society (OCHS) was organized and became a functioning organization in 2018. Partnerships were formalized with the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts (OACD), the Oklahoma Historical Society, the Oklahoma State University Oral History Research Program and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
