Purpose to demonstrate that cover crops, soil testing and conservation tillage will not lower crop yields

Bluffton council will learn tonight about a grant pursued by the Blanchard River Watershed Partnership involving farmers in the Lower Riley Creek Watershed.

The grant was recently submitted to the Great Lakes Sediment and Nutrient Reduction Program. Funding is from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The grant’s purpose is to demonstrate that the use of cover crops, soil testing and conservation tillage will not lower crop yields.
