The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food & Forestry invites all Oklahoma agricultural
producers, rural community leaders and Oklahomans interested in economic development to
attend the second annual Governor’s Conference on Agriculture & Economic Growth, April 28-29
in Clinton or May 5-6 in Muskogee. These two regional conferences are dedicated to addressing
issues and opportunities facing production agriculturalists and rural Oklahomans. Program
topics will include Agri-tourism, animal identification, water issues, no-till farming, and other
producer-oriented topics.
State Veterinarian Dr. Becky Brewer will lead a presentation and discussion session on animal
identification at both conferences, and livestock producers will have the opportunity to complete
their premise identification registration on-site. Issues specific to western Oklahoma such as
Oklahoma water issues, oilseed and wheat production, and no-till farming will be featured at the
conference in Clinton, while topics such as poultry production, reforestation, and rural development strategies will be included in the eastern Oklahoma program in Muskogee. Both conferences will include an Agri-tourism program and reception on Thursday evening where attendees
will have the opportunity to hear from and visit with producers involved in Agri-tourism venues
throughout Oklahoma. Area legislators will be present at the conference.
The Thursday evening programs will start at 6:00 p.m. followed by a reception, which will
conclude at 8:30 p.m. The Friday programs will begin at 8:00 a.m. and adjourn at 4:00 p.m.
Preregistration for the conference is due by April 15, 2005
2005. Preregistration for Thursday
evening is $10, Friday’s program is $20, or full registration to both programs is $25. On-site

During May the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will join with other federal, state and local
agencies to commemorate American Wetlands Month, focusing on the benefits that wetlands
provide. Events are scheduled across the country to educate and involve Americans in better
understanding the importance of one of Earth’s most valuable and fragile ecosystems.
Wetlands act as buffers, absorbing and reducing damage caused by flood waters. Wetlands also
help to remove pollutants from water to help keep cleaner streams and lakes, reducing the cost of
water treatment. Their productive ecosystems support plant and animal habitat including some
rare varieties. Wetlands also play a role in the commercial fishing industry and recreation.
To learn more about activities for American Wetlands Month, go to www.epa.gov/owow/wetlands

Oklahoma Conservation Conversation — April 2005 — Special Supplement — NRCS 70th Anniversary
The 70th Anniversary – A Celebration of Making a Difference
by M. Darrel Dominick, State Conservationist, Oklahoma
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
“It is hereby recognized that the wastage of soil and moisture resources on farm, grazing,
and forest lands of the Nation, resulting from soil erosion, is a menace to the national welfare
and that it is hereby declared to be the policy of Congress to provide permanently for the control
and prevention of soil erosion and thereby to preserve natural resources, control floods, prevent
impairment of reservoirs, and maintain the navigability of rivers and harbors, protect public
health, public lands and relieve unemployment. – The preamble of the Soil Conservation
Act of April 27, 1935, in which Congress definitely committed the national
government to the policy of soil conservation.”*
The text above is a key passage in Hugh Hammond Bennett’s preface to the book titled Soil Conservation. The
charge of the day was to take care of the natural resources of the United States so that future generations would
have the opportunity to expand the concept of freedom and prosperity. It was the “homeland security” effort of
the Dust Bowl era.
Out of this time was born an agency called the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) that is now the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Dr. Bennett, the “Father of Soil Conservation” and first Chief of SCS,
saw that many different partnerships had to come together at many levels for this national effort to be successful.
Dr. Bennett was visionary in his understanding of what it took at the local level to accomplish conservation on
the land. It took trust between the national, state, and local governments in working with private landowners to
get conservation practices on the landscape. That model has been successful in accomplishing much.
There is hardly an acre in the United States that has not been assessed and impacted in this relationship of
conservation trust over the past 70 years. The proof of the success of that trust is on the landscape — often
taken for granted, but should be considered a “hidden jewel” in American history.
The conservation work that has been accomplished is the foundation for the natural resource issues of today
and the future. The conservation challenges the next generation will address will be complex and require many
technical disciplines. Most of all, it will require a strong conservation partnership at the local level that believes
in voluntary conservation efforts and active problem solving. The model of the “Dirty Thirties” is a good model
for today and the future.
Recently a photograph surfaced showing Dr. Bennett in the field with farmers and
conservation district board members in Cimarron County. Dr. Bennett’s tie has blown
back over his shoulder and his hat is sideways on his head appearing to be almost gone
with the wind. These leaders were out in the field discussing next steps and what needed
to be done. That work continues through our current partnerships.
Thanks to all of the conservationists over the past 70 years.
You have made a difference!

Next Meeting
The next regular meeting of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission will be held on April 11, 2005,
in the Agriculture Building Board Room, 2800 N.
Lincoln Boulevard, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma beginning at 9:30 a.m.
A New Pilot Project for Conservation on Oil and Gas Sites
Farmers Union Royalty Cooperative Company
The Farmers Union Cooperative Royalty Company
has announced a new pilot project to help establish
best management practices on new oil and gas
drilling sites. Funded through private donation with
federal and state assistance, the practices are to be
created with assistance from local conservation
districts and county offices of the USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service, in cooperation with
the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts
and the Oklahoma Conservation Commission.
“We hope this pilot project will challenge other
industry organizations to participate in efforts to
advance the vital conservation of our natural
resources,” said Hal Clark, current chairman of the
Farmers Union Royalty Company board of directors.
Clark is chairman of the Cimarron County
Conservation District and a former Conservation
Commissioner.
The practices, aimed at containing drill site
contaminants to protect vegetation, thereby reducing
soil erosion and helping to protect water quality in
runoff, are to be incorporated into conservation
plans for the construction of new wells. The plan
would stay with the site until the eventual capping
of the well and dismantling of the location. The
pilot project will test the program in two as-yetunnamed counties and, if successful, could then be
expanded across the state.
