EDWARDS Woodlot owners and the public are welcome to join a tour of Herb Bullock’s actively managed woodlot at 117 Campbell Rd on May 15.
Herb and Peter Smallidge, NYS Extension Forester & Director Cornell University Arnot Teaching and Research Forest, will lead the group and showcase the many management activities undertaken by Herb and his family. The event is sponsored by The New York Forest Owners Association.
Some of the topics include: impact of deer browsing on regeneration demonstrated at a deer exclosure; ash tree vaccination to halt the emerald ash borer; results of thinning cull trees; reforestation of white, red, burr and swamp oak; protection of plantings; and invasive shrub and fern management. Peter will also demonstrate how to conduct a simple field survey that uses plants as indicators of the severity of deer browsing.
Reintroducing native grasses to hold moisture Rotational grazing, no-till, cover crops, and native grasses mean an improvement in plant growth, moisture retention, and erosion control on the Anderson ranch. By
5/5/2021 After enduring dusty, dry years on their Lemmon, South Dakota, ranch back in the early 2000s, Chuck and Koreen Anderson realized one important thing. They needed to keep moisture on the place. Their sandy, loamy soils were parched and dry. With the Andersons’ implementation of rotational grazing, no-till practices on their crop ground, using cover crops and a rigorous reintroduction of native grasses, they immediately saw an improvement in plant growth, moisture retention, and erosion control.
Dear Secretary Vilsack and Secretary Haaland,
We write to express concern with the directive in President Biden’s January 27, 2021, climate change executive order (E.O. 14008) to identify strategies to conserve at least 30 percent of our land and waters by 2030, commonly referred to as 30 by 30.
The federal government already possesses approximately 640 million acres of the land in the United States. Unfortunately, there is a significant maintenance backlog on this federal land. Given this reality, acquiring additional federal land would be concerning to us and many of our constituents. With relatively few details about how this proposal would be achieved, additional concerns have been raised about the potential for onerous regulations and land use restrictions as a possible strategy. Such a proposal would have a devastating effect on private landowners.

Clemson soil nutrient management specialist Bhupinder Farmaha and master’s student Mitchell Rich study how utilizing cover crops and conservation tillage in cotton fields may be just what the doctor ordered for healthy soils. Three common strategies conservation tillage, diversified crop rotations and cover crops are used to improve soil health.
Earth’s population is expected to increase by more than 2 billion people by 2050 and, to help ensure there is enough food and fiber to go around, keeping soils healthy is crucial.
