The Boone County Commissioners have agreed to allow the use of about 10 acres of county-owner farmland as education and demonstration plots. These plots will be used to demonstrate environmentally friendly agricultural practices with an initial focus on no-till and cover crops.
This is a community project for the benefit of Boone County farmers, residents and the county. We anticipate the area wull be used for a variety of field days and educational programs as well as for one--on-one consultations.
Local members of the Indiana Conservation Partnership representing the Boone County Soil and Water Conservation District, Purdue University, Boone County Natureal Resources Conservation Service and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture will be partnering on this project.
