Topics included grazing management practices that improve soil health and preventing nutrient and soil runoff into waterways. The field day highlighted the farm\u2019s rotational grazing system, demonstrated the environmental benefits of well-managed pastures, and explained the operator\u2019s experimental use of biochar as a potential soil amendment.\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacd.org\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/epa_logo-2-275x300.jpg\" alt=\"epa_logo (2)\" width=\"85\" height=\"93\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/epa_logo-2-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/pacd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/epa_logo-2.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 85px) 100vw, 85px\" \/><\/td>\n<td>Financial and other support for this project is provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jefferson County Conservation District held a grazing field day on July 8 in Mayport, PA.
