Skagit Conservation District's equipment share program offers landowners in the community improved access to agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) at an affordable price. Their no-till drill has become a crowd favorite due to its minimal soil disturbance, which helps mitigate soil erosion and compaction while enhancing soil organic matter and structure. In the previous season alone, their no-till drill was utilized on over 200 acres of farmland, showcasing its effectiveness and impact. Great work, Skagit CD!
