He notes many fear the expense and cites 5 to 15 year horizons for erosion-control systems to become profitable, promoting group pooling to share costs and labor for large projects. The Washington County ASC committee offers to meet with farmers to tailor solutions under the Agricultural Conservation Program Development Group.
