The 1948 Memorandum of Understanding between the Seminole Soil Conservation District and the United States Department of Agriculture. The Seminole Soil Conservation District organization began in 1948 with a goal of assisting agricultural interests. Over the years, the Seminole County Soil and Water Conservation District also began to concentrate on the development and management of recreational enterprises. Their interests included inventory and evaluations for land uses and solving issues concerning soil and water resources. In the 1948 memorandum, the Board articulates a goal to cooperate with the Department of Agriculture in order to achieve certain objectives pertaining to soil conservation and erosion control. The five page Memorandum discusses the implementation of a work plan for the Seminole Soil Conservaiton District. The memorandum is signed by R. F. Cooper and C. R. Dawson of the Seminole Soil Conservation District.
