Lower East Fork White River Watershed News

September / October / November is time for fall decorations, pumpkin patches, scarecrows and harvest! If you are a producer gathering in those crops you worked so hard to get to this stage – you are appreciated! As the Lower East Fork White River watershed coordinator, I hope you have a safe, rewarding and trouble-free harvest.  

If you are a producer in the Lower East Fork White Watershed, and are doing conservation practices such as fall cover crops, please reach out! Contact me, Julie Loehr, at 812-779-7924. We can talk while your combining or waiting at the elevator to unload. I would love to hear from you!
We may even discover that there are cost-share funds to reimburse you for part of your efforts! However, even if I can’t help financially, your reported conservation practices can help us at the local SWCD office receive future grant funding. Knowing what you’re doing also allows us to thank you for all you do to protect water quality and soil health. I promise to keep the call short and easy. If during the call, we find out you’d like more information, we can re-connect after harvest to showcase your role in natural resource conservation in Daviess, Dubois, Martin and Pike Counties!
