Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Remaining Land: We Can Use It and Save It Productive land is essential to the well - being of any nation and the people living in the nation. Most nations do not have enough good land now; they have wasted too much of it in the past. We are more fortunate in the United States; but, ev'en here, we do not have any to spare. And, we have been destroy ing our good land at a prodigal rate. Good topsoil and water are the main things that make land productive. You cannot make fertile topsoil in a few years on most land. It takes nature centuries to do it. But topsoil can be removed from good land in a few years by careless farming; it has been removed or severely damaged on millions of acres of our American land. When the topsoil is gone, the productivity of the land is usually gone; then the people who depend on that land have poorer diets and a lower standard of living. That is why the conservation of our good land is important to everyone. Here are some facts and figures about the land that's left how we can use it and still save it.
