• diversion berms and grasses waterways
• installation of nitrate filers

The Scott's have developed a Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Plan for their farm. The plan examines the entire property and focuses on actions that will improve soil and water health. One goal of the plan is to increase the resiliency of the land to changing weather patterns.
