Conservation conference
featured a panel of three farmers
and one Penn State agronomist,
each experienced in conservation
tillage. They are John Wiker, Jere
Swarr, Kenny Bleacher and H.
Grant Troop. Swarr has been in
volved in planting no-till for only
three years, but said he is satisfied
with the results. He uses one-third
no-till on his 225 acres of com.
Bleacher reported completing
his second year in the Lancaster
County 5-acre competition with an
average yield of 188.6 bushels per
acre.
Wiker, who plants 1000 acres of
com each year in three townships
in Lancaster County, said he has 17

Troop, a Penn State agronomist,
warned the audience that “You
can have a serious erosion problem
with just sheet erosion,” a loss
of soil as thin as a sheet. “Too
many farmers think that if they
don’t have deep gullies, then they
don’t have problems.’ ’
Troop finished his discussion by
offering the audience his own
definition of conservation:
“Getting the most out of the
ground within its own limits of
producing.”
The Tuesday program was
sponsored by the Lancaster County
Conservation District and the
county Extension service.
