Small Farm Equipment for NWNC

Watauga County Cooperative Extension will build upon its successful shared-use farm equipment program by adding two wheeled-tractors and implements available for growers to use for sustainable soils management such as liming and fertilizing soils, appropriate tillage, cover crop seeding, organically-acceptable cover crop termination, and mulching. This project will add to the range of equipment Watauga County is able to offer area growers, and enhance its storage, handling, and maintenance such that its useful lifespan can be extended through the next seven years.
