Read MoreProtecting Ohio’s water resources through innovative agricultural practices is the goal of the partnership between the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service. The two organizations have created and are managing demonstration farms in the Blanchard River Watershed.
Through 2020, three demonstration farms will serve as models for new innovations that reduce and prevent agricultural nutrient runoff. Those discoveries will be shared with local farmers, land management agencies and the public. The demonstration farms are a key component of Ohio Farm Bureau’s Water Quality Action Plan, a comprehensive initiative to help farmers proactively improve and protect water quality.
The Blanchard Demonstration Farms Advisory Committee provides guidance to the project using their expertise in their given fields. The committee meets twice a year, with one meeting on the farms, to see what is taking place.
