to run conservation meeting
erosion problems ot the
tarmei to determine how to
best conserve soil and water
on the farm.
Practices that the District
and SCS can' help plan
and/or design include non
structural practices such as
no-till farming, strip
cropping and crop residue
management
The District and SCS can
also survey, design and
supervise construction ot
structural practices such as
grass waterways, diversions
and terraces.
Cost-sharing through the
Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Service is
available to help defray the
IN
costs of constructing these
conservation practices.
Controlling soil erosion
and conserving water not
only results in sustaining
crop yields year after year,
but also benefits the farmer
by keeping lime, fertilizer
and herbicides on the farm
where they are needed.
Reducing soil loss as well
as runoff of these other
factors also improves the
water quality ot our
waterways
The Dauphin Conservation
District has helped develop
over 1500 conservation plans
on farms throughout
Dauphin County and con
tinues to assist farmers,
landowners and local
governments m conserving
and protecting our natural
resources
