Pasture Improvement Project in Farmington

The Ontario County SWCD recently completed a project using funding through our Base AEM program. This project addressed a priority concern in their Ontario County SWCD-developed Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan. The farm had several concentrated water flows that directly entered the beef cattle wintering barnyard causing a contaminated runoff concern. This project diverted the water away from the barnyard to 800 ft of solid underground outlet and 20 ft of rock lined outlet conveying clean water around the farmstead.
