Excerpt from Soil and Water Conservation Needs: A National Inventory The 'national Inventory of Soil and Water Conservation Needs shows that nearly two-thirds of the non-federal rural land of the United States needs conservation treatment of some kind. Nearly 888 out of million acres in the 48 mainland States, or 890 out of million acres in the entire United States, needs conserva tion treatment. In either case, the land needing treatment is 62 percent of the non-federal land expected to be in agricultural use by 1975. It includes 62 percent of the cropland, 73 percent of the non Federal pasture and range, and 55 percent of the non-federal forest and woodland.
