Agricultural Conservation Practice Design
Management of runoff within each farmstead or barnyard requires a unique, site-specific design that takes into consideration the needs of the individual farmer while also meeting the expectations of state and federal regulatory agencies.
Stone staff are experienced in working directly with farmers to evaluate, design and support implementation of the full suite of barnyard practices including:
- Manure management and storage
- Silage leachate treatment
- Milkhouse wastewater treatment
- Clean water diversion
- Tile drain treatment systems
