ON AMERICAN SOIL

28 minutes/Grades 7-Adult

Produced by the Conservation Foundation

In this award-winning film on the next critical environmental
issue, we see the nature and extent of the soil erosion problem in
America today. Through interviews with farmers and soil
conservation experts, and the use of old photographs and film
clips, ON AMERICAN SOIL explains the economic bind in which
farmers find themselves. Contradictory government policies that
have undermined the effectiveness of soil conservation programs
during the past 50 years are also discussed. With Study Guide.
