Long Grassed Waterway Aids Pierce County Farmers
Pierce County farmers John Bartlett and Mel Johnson completed a one mile long grassed waterway to control runoff from upstream farms and Ellsworth city streets. Costing about 10000 dollars with 80 percent ASCS cost share, the project reduces soil erosion from 15 tons per acre to under three and allows hay in the waterway. The work, done with help from the Soil Conservation Service, involved upstream neighbors and a prior 400 foot dam built in 1976 to hold back water for 700 acres.
