Conservation Planning Guidance for Franklin County Landowners
Landowners should begin conservation planning by signing a cooperative agreement with the Franklin County Soil Conservation District. District technicians review farms field by field, outlining cropland and pastureland uses, evaluating soil suitability, and creating a farm conservation plan with maps and narratives for proposed land treatments.

Woodland Areas Could Be Productive in Franklin County
James C. Geisler explains that 9.1 percent of Franklin County is commercial forest scattered as wasteland on tax rolls. Poor past harvesting has left low quality timber, but natural regrowth offers value. With planting thinning and pruning, woodlands can boost wildlife, recreation and timber. Contact Franklin County Extension or local SCS or ASCS for free forester help.
