Conservation Keeps Plant Efficient at Forest Glen Farm
Kenneth Westerman and his son James manage Forest Glen Farm on Greenwich-Milan-Townline Road with a 212 acre operation plus a swine herd of 600 to 700 head. They rebuilt drainage on Haux Hurst Ditch with 16 neighbors in 1959, aided by federal funds, to improve fields previously unusable due to wetness. They maintain waterways, add drop boxes, under driveway pipes, and aim for better bridge crossings for livestock, while using rye grass in corn rows and annual soil tests to preserve organic content and fertilization efficiency.
