Description
The Work Plan of the Board of Supervisors of the Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District for 1948. 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 purpose of the 1948 work plan was to outline the approach to problems as stated in the program from that year. The seven page work plan discusses issues such as land use, cropland, erosion, pastureland, water control, soil improvement, crop rotation, woodland and wildlife management, farm planning, and the use of conservation surveys.
