Waste facility closures are the decommissioning of a facility where agricultural waste has been treated or stored and is no longer used for the intended purpose. This video explores how Caleb Crothers implemented this conservation practice on his farm in Rising Sun, Maryland.
Practice benefits:
• Improves water quality
• Decreases stormwater quantity
• Reduces runoff
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
