Both Mr. Miller and Mr. Vincent have completed conservation practices such as preventing erosion, by not overgrazing their pastures, preserving water quality by using soil tests to determine how much fertilizer to use, which prevents runoff from fertilizers from entering our water table, just to name a couple. Conservation farmers help everyone by following good conservation practices. Please feel free to come by our office at 100 Washington Street to find out what you can do to help conserve our top soil ( which once eroded away takes over 500 years for nature to replace one inch ) and preserve water quality! Everyone can help!
