New Report Reflects Phosphorus Reduction Progress as a Result of Conservation Implementation by Vermont Farmers

The Mountain Times New Report Reflects Phosphorus Reduction Progress as a Result of Conservation Implementation by Vermont Farmers The Vermont Agricultural Water Quality Partnership (VAWQP) released its 2020 annual report highlighting the impacts of state and federal investments toward protecting and improving water quality on March 5. The VAWQP report shares conservation practice implementation data which indicates a high level of commitment from Vermont farmers in land stewardship. For example, in 2020, conservation efforts by farmers helped reduce erosion, improve soil health, and protect water quality. Over 28% of the annual cropland in Vermont was cover cropped (26,748 acres) and conservation tillage was implemented on 15% of annual cropland (14,305 acres). Conservation tillage means that 30 percent or more of the soil surface is covered with crop residue, after planting, to reduce soil erosion by water.
