P. S. Ferguson (l), farmer, and R.L. Lyda (r), Swain County Planning Commissioner, stand in a cornfield. They are viewing corn sod planted in 10-year-old orchard bluegrass sod. This photo is from the Tuckaseigee Soil & Water Conservation District, which was formed in western North Carolina in 1957 and became the Swain Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) in 1982. The Swain SWCD’s mission is to provide for a quality environment and higher standard of living while protecting natural resources. The Swain SWCD photographs capture various SWCD projects throughout Swain, Jackson, Graham, Haywood, and surrounding counties in western North Carolina.
