WIND erosion is a serious problem in many areas of the United States. Damage to soil, damage to crops, and atmospheric pollution caused by wind erosion are major areas of concern. The nature and extent of wind erosion have been subjects for observa-tion and study by researchers and soil conservationists for many years. Wind erosion control has received high priority in the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) activities since 1935. The catastrophic dust storms of the early 1930's focused public attention on the problems of wind erosion and resulted in public support for remedial and preventive action.
