The Program of the Board of Supervisors of the Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District for 1963. The organization began in 1948 with a goal to assist in agricultural interests. Over the years, the Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District began to also concentrate on the development and management of recreational enterprises. Their interests also entailed inventory and evaluations for land uses and solving issues concerning soil and water resources. The fourteen page program from 1963 discusses the history of the organization and contains information pertaining to the goals of the Seminole Soil Conservation District as well as the major problems they face regarding water control, soil depletion, erosion control, wildlife, land use, livestock, egg production, and recreational and rural land development.
