The Conservancy is the largest private nonprofit land con servation organization in Penn sylvania. During its 35-year York farm leaders to tour Bay from agricultural land is the primary pollution problem stemming from Pennsylvania via the Susquehanna River. The Susquehanna provides 50% of the freshwater to the Bay. Nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, from Pennsylvania farmland are being carried into the Bay in excessive levels. This overenrichment then is believed to be causing eutrophication of the Bay waters. Recent trends of decreased catches of freshwater spawning fish species prompted the EPA’s study of the Bay seven years ago. The group of York County farm leaders hopes to learn more about the Bay and how its water quality is being affected by neighboring farmers upstream, and what Pennsylvania farmers might be able to do to prevent valuable soil and fertilizer from UPRIGHT BUNKER SILOS • Low cost storage • Fast installation • Moveable MANURE PITS • Poured in place or precast concrete • Above or below ground • SCS approved FEED BUNK • Long lasting reinforced pre- cast concrete • 3 styles of H-Bunk available • 4 styles of J-Bunk available CATTLEGUARDS • No more opening and closing gates • 12' and 16' available • Maintenance free precast MONocr CONCRETE • 6" steel reinforced solid concrete walls • Conventional top unloading • Oxygen controlled bottom unloading State Time To Call history the Conservancy has acquired more than 90,000 acres of recreational and unique natural areas and sold them at cost to federal and state agencies for us e as parks, forests, game lands and nature preserves. being washed off the farm and into waterways which feed the Chesapeake Bay.
