Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 26,1976
The hot Summer sun assured a steady flow of
visitors to refreshments stands.
Farm renovated
' (Continued from Page 31)
The idea mushroomed quickly. Groups of people, as
well as individuals and numerous businesses were eager
to donate time and equipment. On August 19 the entire
Roelkey farm turned into a beehive of activity which
many visitors described as just plain fantastic.
Bulldozers roared into action to build a pond. Men and
boys with tanned arms hammered a new hog bam
together. Others painted and built fences. Tons of debris
which had littered the farm were removed and buried.
Pastureland was renovated, complete with concrete
watering facilities for livestock and acres of woodland
were cleaned to to mark the beginning of forest
management.
Spokesmen at the scene explained that the Project was
“agriculture’s positive response to Congress’ mandate to
clean up rivers and streams. It was pointed out that two
small streams go through the Roelkey property and
empty into the nearby Potomac River, which eventually
winds up in Washington, D.C.
Because of the massive scale of the.event and the
profound implications, the activities were widely
publicized wen in advance as weU as during the field day.
Numerous representatives from radio, television,
newspapers and magazines were on hand to observe,
scribble notes and take pictures. Helicopters were
available for aerial photography.
The thrust of the activities were obviously aimed to
urban and suburban people, as well as agriculturalists.
There was something for everyone. And while most of it
was a positive learning experience, there were a number
of areas which raised questions and left doubt. Typical of
such an experience was the stream which was supposed to
allow cows to drink while keeping pollution out.* Many
farmers weren’t convinced it would wofjc. Also, variations
of such watering areas could possibly allow water to lay in
pools and become stagnant.
Nonetheless, the happenings at the Warren Roelkey
farm were regarded as impressive and worthwhile. In
upcoming weeks Lancaster Fanning will present more
detailed reports on the work which took place to com
pletely renovate a farm which had previously been in a
pitiful state of neglect.
