Cooperation Brings Conservation on Strasburg Farm
An outstanding example of public and quasi public cooperation completes a soil and water conservation project on Paul Rowe’s 18 acre field in Strasburg RD 1. Contour terraces run straight and parallel across the field reducing runoff into road ditches and lowering water velocity. Rowe initiated the project with Soil Conservation Service aide Houseknecht and with Amos Funk of the county district. The highway department approved routing changes to terrace placement and water drainage. The work was funded in part by ASC-SCS cost-sharing and Rowe used his equipment to cut costs.
