ABCA approves grants for farmers
Local farmers will be receiving
more than $100,000 for projects to
improve water quality this summer.
Nineteen projects were approved at
the June Ausable Bayfield
Conservation Authority board of
directors' meeting.
Funding for manure equipment
modifications, conservation tillage
equipment, fencing and tree planting
in the Ausable River and Parkhill
Creek watersheds is from the federal
government Habitat Stewardship
Program. According to Kate Monk,
the Stewardship and Conservation
Lands Supervisor, there is still over
$10,000 left in the grant program for
tree planting.
In Middlesex and Perth Counties,
additional grants are available for
fencing, nutrient management plans,
wellhead protection, well
decommissioning, fertilizer, fuel and
chemical storage, septic systems,
erosion control, fragile land
retirement and milkhouse wash-
water disposal.
Even if grants aren't available for
a best management practice, the
ABCA can provide technical
support.
Manure equipment modification
promotes the safe handling of liquid
manure through the use of the
injection method of application,
which reduces manure runoff.
Improvements have also been made
in conservation tillage equipment,
including the purchase of new
planters to reduce soil erosion.
This year there has been a keen
interest in fencing cattle out of
watercourses to prevent further bank
erosion and water pollution.
"We like to see a landowner fence
a watercourse because it limits
pollution and stream bank erosion,"
said Monk. Fencing cattle out of
watercourses also helps protect the
health of the livestock and aquatic
life which inhabit watershed.
Stewardship practices are
important. According to the Huron
County Water Quality Study, the
Ausable River is ranked as one of
the five basins in Ontario with the
highest proportion of poor to
imperfectly drained soils, which
means that more water and nutrients
from the soil are likely to drain into
the river after a rainfall. The runoff
can carry with it more pollutants,
which in turn have a negative effect
on the watershed ecosystem.
The stewardship programs are
aimed at reducing the amount of
erosion and runoff, thereby helping
to improve water quality.
Not only, are these programs
beneficial to the environment, they
are also economically beneficial to
the farms that put stewardship into
practice. New tillage and manure
handling equipment allows farmers
to better manage soil nutrients. By
planting buffer strips and trees on
erodible land, one can reduce the
risk of losing vital nutrients as
rainwater disperses the top layer of
soil. Better soil means better crops
for generations to come.
"The interest of farmers in these
programs shows they are willing to
help the environment, especially if
we can help cover some of the
costs," Monk said.
To apply for grants, contact Mary
Ellen Foran, Stewardship Specialist
at 235-2610.
