No-till novice plans to continue using system
Perry County farmers, including Raymond Majewski, completed state cost share requirements for no-till erosion control under the federal Water Pollution Act. In Perry County 428 acres earned 11,398 tons soil saved at 91 cents per ton, while statewide 26,081 acres received payments and averaged 14.2 tons saved per acre. Fiscal 1982 budget cuts end funding, but district will promote practices and erosion control awareness locally.
