The effectiveness of pasture furrows, graded banks, terraces, grassed waterways, and flood control dams in controlling soil and water movement on arable lands encouraged the Council to provide machinery and technical services, and to plan and install these conservation aids on a demonstration basis where farmers needed them. This work is now carried on by four units controlled by the Department of Agriculture.
