Canyon Soil Conservation District

​

Organized in 1951, the Canyon Soil Conservation District focused on farm-related soil and water problems. Farmers received help leveling their land, lining ditches, installing irrigation pipelines, developing conservation cropping systems and how to utilize crop residues for better soil and water conservation.  Irrigation companies received help upgrading their canals and diversions along the Boise River.
