One of the soil erosion prevention techniques used by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was contour farming.

These lines help the water stay and sink into the soil, rather than carry away the topsoil. | Source: "CCC Work in Nebraska," Association of Rretired Conservation Service Employees (ARCSE), accessed March 4, 2015, http://www.arcse.org/qCCCNE.htm.Download Original File
