Helfrick announced that Mitch
ell Woodward, coordinator of the
Maryland Nutrient Management
Program, was directly ordered to
not testily before the Pennsylvania
committee by Maryland Governor
William Donald Schaefer.
Woodward’s testimony was
seen as key, according to Helfirick,
because Maryland’s program is
voluntary and has been held up as
an example of what Pennsylvania
may want to consider as a template
for its own nutrient management
program.
Helfrick said he was upset by
the, last minute news and vowed
that the committee would attempt
to meet with Woodward later this
summer and would not release, out
of committee, any nutrient man
agement proposals until die matter
was resolved and the committee
was given the information needed.
“It is my intention, before doing
anything with this bill, to take the
committee to go to Maryland and
find out what Woodward has to
say,” Helfrick said, sharply.
Lancaster fanning. Saturday, May 9, 1992-AB5
Committee
Baker, in his testimony, said that
after 12 consecutive years of study
on nitrogen movement in Lancas
ter County farmland soil, he has
come to the conclusion that their is
a problem with nitrogren it is
currently applied with too little
bulking agent, such as is provide* 4
by straw or newspaper beddin;
“The problem started with going
to the liquid manure systems,” he
said.
According to Baker, the prob
lem is the lack of “'nth.” More
specifically, he said the cellulose
and lignin carbon content of the
soil should be increased.
He said that the addition of more
cellulose and lignin carbon acts to
retain of water and thus keep
water-soluble nitrogen in the soil,
not in the stream or groundwater.
This keeps nitrogen in the area by
which plants can use it, otherwise
it drains off, with the rest of water,
into streams and ultimately the
Chesapeake Bay.
He strongly advocated that the
real solution to over-nitrification
of the Bay would be for farmers to
start incorporated shredded news
print with the soil and the manure.
He said that farmers should use
nitrogen and “bank” it in the soil
with cellulose. He said it would
provide increased crop yields and
dramatically retard the flow of nit
rogen into the water.
Also, he said it would alleviate,
even further, the amount of cellul
ose and lignin carbon (newsprint)
going into landfills.
