Beautiful fallow field shows benefits of CREP program About: A fallow field: Nature preparing soil in a beautiful field Click on headline for complete article plus original photo, now attached to this wonderful commentary By Jason Stephens Don't make the mistake of believing this is just an ordinary stand of wild flowers. It is in fact, an unparalleled effort between landowners in Adair County, the Adair County Conservation District, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, the USDA Farm Service Agency, and the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. and The Nature Conservancy. I see the fruits of the CREP (Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program). When I see that field, I see the hard work, and dedication of everyone involved in getting that particular field where it is today. I used to be one of those people, and even though i've moved on in my career, I'm still proud of what was accomplished with this program. I see the soil and water conservation benefits, and I see the vastly improved wildlife habitat as well as the short and long term benefits to the landowners. I see a field that is "producing" without actually producing. So I apologize that I couldn't let this article go on being just any old stand of beautiful wild flowers or just another"fallow" field there is more to it than that. And thank you so much! If photographers find other CREP fields in the South Central Kentucky area, CM would love to have photos of them, along with identification of the farmers participating in the wonderful program, especially photos from the counties of Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell and Taylor Counties.
