The savings are realized by the practice of planting in existing grass or crop residue which elim inates exposing the soil to the im pact of rainfall, and concentrated water runoff which washes away soil as well as soil nutrients. As in conventional farming, herbicides are used to control un wanted vegetation. However, once under control, crop rotation and best management practices may reduce the use of herbicide application.

The committee plans the complex to be as versatile as possible within their budget restrictions. Bruce Stainbrook, Meadville, fundraising chairman, reports that to date money and pledges total $70,000 with additional in-kind contributions including grading, trucking, gravel, and cement already promised. Many businesses are making their contributions through the advertising signs that will be used around the arena, said Rose. Each sign will be at least one 4-foot by 8-foot piece of plywood that has been painted by specified artists. Businesses must contract for at least a five-year period at $ 100 per year plus fees for the materials and labor to paint the signs.
