Maryland Farmers Involved
Maryland’s Agricultural Cost
Share Program continues to reduce
agricultural nonpoint source pollu
tion to the Chesapeake Bay as
more farmers sign up every month,
according to Amin Yazdanian,
Program Administrator of Mary
land’s highly successful program.
The Agricultural Water Quality
Cost Share Program has been in
operation since 1983. Funding was
significantly increased through the
Chesapeake Bay Water Quality
Loan Acts of 1984, 1985, 1986,
and 1987. Additional funds are
made available by the U.S. Envir
onmental Protection Agency. The
state program provides up to 87.5
percent of the total cost of install
ing site-specific best management
practices designed to control agri
cultural nonpoint source pollution,
with limits of $lO,OOO per project
and $25,000 per farm.
Designed to encourage farmers
to install best-management prac
tices on a voluntary basis, the cost
share program targets those water
sheds most likely to contribute
agriculturally related nonpoint
source pollution to Maryland
waters.
“I am very proud of Maryland’s
fanners and the way they have
taken the lead and responded in the
voluntary effort, and I appreciate
the things farmers are doing, and
their commitment to restoring the

Governor William Donald
Schaefer is also pleased with the
progress being made by Mary
land’s Agricultural Water Quality
Cost Share Program. ‘This kind of
cooperation is just great,” said
Schaefer. “Good things happen
when everybody works together
on a tough job like this,” said the
Governor at the annual Agricultur

Conservation Farmer
CREAMERY Arlin Halte
man of Kulp Road, Harleysville
was recently named by the Mont
gomery County Conservation Dis
trict as Outstanding Conservation
Farmer for 1987. Arlin also had the
number-two dairy herd in the
county for 1987.
Halteman’s conservation
accomplishments include: 165
acres of stripcropping, several
thousand feet of storage terraces,
diversions, and gradient terraces.
Halteman has converted more than
2,000 feet of gullies into grassed
waterways. Six structures for
water control have also been built
to stabilize erosion. Arlin credits
much of his farmer’s abilities to his

Halteman Named
Since July of 1983, the MDA
has received over 5,000 cost share
applications. As of February,
1987, cost share funded projects
are helping to save approximately
316,000 tons of soil per year, and
are treating 2,500 total tons of ani
mal waste per day. About $ 10 mil
lion in bond funds administered by
the Maryland Department of the
Environment (MDE) have been
expended for completed projects.
Another one million in federal
funds provided by EPA has been
paid out to farmers.
dad, Elwood, whose other son Har
old happened to have the
number-one dairy herd in the
county for 1987. Elwood taught
Arlin the value of crop rotation and
good land management. This is
evidenced by most all the rented
land being farmed also being under
good conservation.
Arlin’s philosophy is that “you
only get out of the land what you
put into it” No-till has also played
a part in Halteman’s conservation
system. He likes to no-till beans
after barley, and has been very suc
cessful at it. He says “the barley
stubble not only helps to hold the
moisture, but also prevents soil
from washing away.”
