FEATURED PROJECT
Through a cooperative agreement, Headwaters RC&D Council is working with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to establish a demonstration farm network in the Upper Genesee River Watershed in Potter County, Pennsylvania. By implementing the conservation practices that are part of this demonstration farm network, projects such as this support the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative goal for reducing nutrient runoff from agriculture.
Farmers participating in the network are implementing improved forest, pasture and cropland management practices, as well as manure management practices including waste storage facilities and heavy use areas. An additional farmer is participating in the network to demonstrate soil health practices on their dairy operation.
