Fall Tour
On
October 15th the Susquehanna County Conservation District hosted a
Fall Bus Tour highlighting projects completed throughout the County.
Financial and other support for this tour was provided by the Pennsylvania
Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. and the Pennsylvania Department
of Environmental Protection’s Chesapeake Bay Program. The tour included
stops to Agawam Farms to show off an example of the District’s Fall
No-till Cover Crop Program, a Dirt & Gravel Road project and a gas
drilling site in Auburn Township to view best management practices
for erosion and sediment control. Best Management Practices were also
the topic on Dave and Lynda Juser’s farm, with views of their spring
development and watering system, 1100 feet of streambank fencing, and
tree buffer plantings. Also included on the tour was Ed Kelly’s Farm
showcasing his 14,000 square foot concrete barnyard and the Fall Tour
concluded with a visit to the LaRue family Farm to learn about their
vegetable farming practices.
