• A lot of the old timers I know served in the CCC. They planted a lot of shelter belts in North Dakota, millions of trees. When I was growing up in the 60%26#039;s and 70%26#039;s These shelter belts kept the top soil in place. We did a lot of summer fallow back then too. That%26#039;s taking some of the land out of production for a year to let it rest and reclaim some of the minerals it needs to produce crops. We use to leave stubble standing to hold snow in the winter for the next years moisture. and also used the moldboard plow to control weeds. Not many farmers do this anymore unless they are organic. Now the farmers are tearing out all the trees now because the equipment is so darn big it tough to maneuver a big four wheel drive tractor with 60 feet of air seeder and grain cart while pulling a double wide anhydrous trailer. A rig like that can be 100%26#039; long. But as screwed up as the government has farming now you go big or you go broke. North Dakota farmboy 0% 0 Votes

• Your question should be %26#039;what WAS the CCC?%26#039;--it doesn%26#039;t exist anymore. The CCC was a work program during the Depression era that built all sorts of facilities at national parks and other Federal properties. It was ended during World War II, never to return. The closest thing today is Americorps. 0% 0 Votes
• Adding on to the Answers of others, the CCC have built many of the early state parks in Florida. They built cabins campgrounds and are even responsible for Florida Caverns State Park, where they dug out the cavern for tours. 0% 0 Votes
