NRCD History

History

Concern about soil washing began in the late 1800s. The first soil survey was conducted in 1898. The extension service published bulletins, but that was not enough for soil scientist Hugh Hammond Bennett. He published a pamphlet, "Soil Erosion A National Menace," that attracted much attention. Testifying before Congress, he helped get some of the first funding to fight erosion and establish the first soil erosion experiment stations. But still no national program was established. In 1930, he gave a paper to the American Society of Agronomy in which a national program was outlined.
