Abstract:

A nationwide survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that soil erosion is twenty-five percent worse than during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Soil scientists agree that the future of our farming industry is threatened by rapid loss of topsoil. Erosion not only reduces soil productivity, it also contributes to air and water pollution.
