Forestry Funds
Available
LEESPORT (Berks Co.)
Richard Troutman, chairman of
the Berks County ASC Commit
tee, said cost-share funds are cur
rently available under the Forestry
Incentive Program (FIP) to assist
fanners in planting trees.
Troutman said the FIP helps
increase the nation’s supply of
timber products by encouraging
private, non-industrial forest land
owners to plant trees on suitable
open lands or cut-over areas, and
to perform timber stand improve
ment work for production of
limber.
“Cost-sharing is generally
necessary because landowners
often cannot afford to make the
long-term investment needed to
produce crops of timber, he said.
Tree planting and timber stand
improvements are two of the
major practices offered in desig
nated counties.
Troutman said farmers could
save thousands of tons of top soil
over the next several years by
planting trees on idle and marginal
cropland, and on other critically
eroded areas. Trees protect the
soil, reduce sediment in streams,
and increase the value of the land.
Farmers should contact the loc
al ASCS office to request cost
sharing funds for tree planting.
