Farm
Seneca Conservation District for the Farming Community
Farming is essential to the lifeblood of our community. Our farmers range from decades of experience to brand new farmers just getting started. We are thankful to have a variety of farms in our county that include row crops, livestock, and a few specialty farms.
Seneca Conservation District is proud to be a resource of practical information for farmers.
We do this by giving opportunities to discuss and learn through conversations with our agronomy team, events to connect with other farmers and hear from expert speakers, and access to information on new innovations that have been implemented at our demonstration farm (Proving Ground Farm).
Sometimes, a collective of knowledge helps take away some of the risks involved with trying something new.
