Crop Change Saves Farm on the Maquoketa River
Dr. Robert Savage’s 480 acre Jones county farm along the Maquoketa river at Picture Rocks is being transformed by grassland farming, erosion control, and fertilization. The Kerens family dairies about 20 cows and raises beef cattle, with 20 more beef cows and 25 to 30 calves planned. half is converted to hay, pasture and timber. Seven erosion dams and an artificial pond protect soil from the river while poultry and hogs play minor roles in the plan. Dr. Savage, Hornaday award winner, promotes conservation across Jones and eastern Linn counties.
