LICA
History
The Land Improvement Contractors Association (LICA) was founded in Missouri in 1941 by a group of, primarily, terracing contractors in an attempt to promote the proper management of soil and water, with the ultimate goal being the preservation of precious topsoil. Other contractors soon began to take notice of those contractors’ success and formed their own LICA state chapters, resulting in the founding of the National LICA in 1951. Although LICA’s underlying activity is still topsoil conservation, the organization has undergone many transformations over the years.
