Letter to the Editor: Conservation and the land

To the Editor:
I have spent my whole life on the farm and it’s clear to me that farming will always be a part of me and my family. As a third generation farmer, conservation is very important to me to make sure the next generation or the one after that will have the same soils to farm with as I have had. Terraces have been installed over the years to reduce soil erosion. Grass waterways have been repaired and added where they are needed as well. Taking care of the soil that we depend on to produce crops has always been a part of my farming practice.
