Wheel Track Planting Boosts Soil on Snavely Farm
Conservation practices and wheel track planting uplift soil in Berks County. Jerry Snavely uses modified contour farming, strip cropping, grass waterways, soil tests, and starter fertilizers to raise organic matter and moisture. He journals yields, diversifies with wheat tobacco and custom farming, and maintains a 1754 stone house as a historic family operation.
