Members of the Civilian Conservation Corps in southern Minnesota worked to help farmers solve the problem of soil erosion. The arduous work of building miles of fencing, digging each post hole by hand, helped encourage such conservation measures as strip cropping and contour farming. Pictured here is John Buskowiak's fencing crew from the Plainview CCC Camp in 1938.
