Conservation Data Shows Crawford County Farmers having a positive Impact on water quality in the Sandusky River Watershed.

The new OACI data shines a positive light on the conservation efforts of Crawford County Farmers. “If I was a farmer or a soil and water technician I would be pretty proud of the progress that’s been made in this watershed”- Jordan Hoewischer, Director of Water Quality and Research with Ohio Farm Bureau. Local farmers participated in the survey as part of the H2Ohio program. Read more about the progress and the survey results here https://www.morningagclips.com/latest-oaci-report-gauges…/
