Ohio Farmers Demonstrate Ways to Improve Water Quality

Meet three farm families that are working with NRCS and the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation to demonstrate the ways on-farm conservation practices can prevent sediment and nutrient runoff from washing into Lake Erie and its tributary streams.
As part of a five-year project, Kellogg Farms, Kurt Farm and Stateler Farms are proactively applying a combination of innovative and standard conservation practices in the Blanchard Watershed, where the reduction of phosphorus and sediment can greatly impact the waters of Lake Erie.
Lake Erie - part of the Great Lakes System - contains 20 percent of all the freshwater in the world and provides drinking water for 11 million people.
The drainage basin of the western portion of Lake Erie covers a vast area of seven million acres or about 11,000 square miles. Agriculture, an important part of the landscape and economy of the Western Lake Erie Basin, occurs on almost 4.9 million acres - 70 percent of the acreage in the area.
Maintaining a vibrant agricultural industry and well-managed natural resources on working lands is vital not only for the communities in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, but ultimately for the health of the waters of Lake Erie itself.
