His Business in Conservation
"Still a good buy for Missouri farmers is soil conservation work. . . Pictured here is the president of the Missouri Terracing
and Conservation Contractors Association, B. M. Kaudle, Bolivar, who has built 400 miles of terraces with motor graders,
chiefly in St. Clair county, in the last 10 years."
  
 

I can't believe I haven't looked through this thread yet. Here's one from my collection.

 

Caterpillar News Service: A new Jersey contractor found winter work for his Cat 922 Loader by removing snow from cemetery roads. The unit is shown working a fringe area of the memorial park. In the cemetery itself, however, most of the 2 1/2 miles of roadway is curved. Trucks with plows have difficulty negotiating the curves without driving on the lawn. Roads had to be cleared quickly for funeral cars.

I love the pictures. After working on some really big commercial/industrial jobs the serious lack of any kind of PPE is amazing to me. Just give me a straw hat and an umbrella and im good to go🤠
