Dickinson Receives Bankers Award For On Farm Conservation
Duane and Delores Dickinson of Appanoose will receive the Bankers Award at the Franklin County Conservation District annual meeting. Dickinson says he designed terraces and water ways on his 70 acre farm, financed the work himself, and avoided government handouts. He consulted neighbors, bought surveying gear, and mapped terraces to fit his land topography, prioritizing soil protection and erosion control without external aid.

Water options for livestock in drought prone areas
Ahead of summer heat, consider pond management to protect water quality and storage. Installing or retrofitting a pond with a pipe to a waterer, fencing to prevent cattle access, and using a gravity fed 100 gallon tank can reduce contamination and ice breaking. Cost share funds through the Now Point Source Pollution Control Program may cover tank, pipe, and installation. Contact George at 229-3520 or 913-294-6021, or the Conservation District at 242-1109.

Palatable native grasses featured in CRP planting choices
The article outlines CRP grass design focusing on palatability and protein content. Western wheatgrass, buffalograss, blue grama and Maximilian's sunflower are cited for year round livestock protein.
