In their own quiet way, today’s gen eration of farmers has adopted a land use ethic that is more respon sive than ever before to a broad range of environmental concerns. The reason is partly economic. A farmer who abuses his land will someday find himself with unpro ductive fields and water that’s unfit for his family and his animals to drink. In addition to the economic motives, many farmers would name aesthetic and even spiritual reasons for taking care of the land they till. But more and more would tell you there are now legal issues to be considered whenever a far mer does something that affects the environment Take the case of Richard and Nelson Troutman, brothers who mm RESERVE GRAND CHAMPION Karen Kauffman PREMIER EXHIBITOR Breck-A-De Farm PREMIER BREEDER P.

In the summer of 1989, diesel fuel somehow siphoned out of an above-ground storage tank next to their dairy bam. It flowed directly into a drain field and then into a nearby creek. The Troutmans weren’t aware of the mishap until a representative of the Pennsylvania Fish Commis sion drove into their lane and told them he had traced a source of pol lution back to their farm. Although the fuel spill was an accident the Troutmans paid an automatic $l,OOO fine for polluting a Pennsylvania stream. They also paid another $9,000 to clean up the stream and to dispose of contami nated soil. The incident exacted as much of a toll on their peace of mind as it did on their bank account The day after the spill was discovered, a group of some 20 people regu lators, enforcement officials, clea nup specialists were all milling around the scene of the spill. Details of what happened to the Troutmans are featured in the lat est edition of Meridian Bank’s Ag Letter, which is mailed regularly to farmers and agribusinesses in Mer idian’s service area.
