Delaini Disher’s photo, “Well-Attended Field Demonstration,” captures a moment of agricultural practice in action. The image shows a group of cattle closely observing the collection of biomass samples from a cover crop field. This snapshot highlights the intersection of sustainable farming practices, where livestock management and environmental conservation are integrated into one harmonious process.
In fields actively grazed by cattle, cover crops serve multiple purposes: preventing soil erosion, enhancing soil fertility, and promoting biodiversity. The cows, grazing in the background, are a reminder of the delicate balance between land stewardship and livestock care. The demonstration being conducted ensures that farmers understand the benefits and impact of these sustainable practices.
Delaini’s photo beautifully encapsulates the importance of both livestock and crop management in maintaining healthy, productive farmland.
A short video from Pacific Conservation Districts shares how no-till farming is helping a local grower improve soil health, reduce costs, and protect water quality.
This $2.4M river restoration project on the Satsop River includes reshaping the riverbank and adding log jams to improve water flow and create a better habitat for wildlife. With 400+ acres of riparian restoration planned, the project is already helping to reduce flooding and improve the river's health.
