         <link>http://www.henrycountyilswcd.com/news/conservation-notes-conservation-habits/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[Conservation Habits = Healthy Habitats is the Soil and Water Stewardship theme for 2010. It is a thought provoking and profound theme. Take a few moments and give it some thought. We are resposible for our actions. Our actions result in either positive or negative consequences. For this reason, we need to be good stewards of the land and natural resources.
What is Conservation? Conservation is the careful management of the environment and naturla resources. In the words of Aldo Leopold,...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Water is essentail to life. Promote water conservation through ths use of rain barrels.
What is a rain barrel? A rain barrel is a system of collecting and storing water from the roofs of homes, barns and sheds. Rain barrels prevent water from attaching to soil or pollutants and being carried away and washed into storm drains. Reducing stormwater runoff reduces the amount of pesticides and fertilizer that impacts our water supply.
Rain barrels protect and conserve an important natural resource,...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[It has been an interesting year in weather to say the least, but I do not have to remind fellow farmers of that. This year has displayed the wonders of nature. Nature is remarkable, yet at times can be destructive and devastating. No-till and other conservation practices have been put to the test this past winter and spring. Due to gully erosion caused by large amounts of heavy rains, many conservation projects have been installed.
The Henry County SWCD has continued to implement conservation...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[I have no favorite season, as I am fond of them all. In fact with each change in season, I find different aspects to love and appreciate. There are so many reasons to adore fall. On weekends, I love waking&#160;up to brisk, sunny fall mornings. Crisp mornings transform into beautiful, warm afternoons.&#160;Fall colors are absolutely magnificent with hues ranging in red, orange, yellow, and purple. These colors are an amazing contrast to the bright blue sky. It is incredible the colors that...]]></description>

         <link>http://www.henrycountyilswcd.com/news/conservation-notes-respect/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[On my nightly jogs or walks, I look forward to time outside enjoying the beauty of the environment around me. It is frustrating to see how much litter is along our rural roadsides. One evening, I spotted a Long John Silvers carry-out bag carelessly tossed along my road. The nearest fast food restaurant is twenty miles away. Needless to say, I was annoyed because it was a sign of complete disrespect. Growing up, my brother, sister and I were taught to respect. We learned to respect not only...]]></description>

         <link>http://www.henrycountyilswcd.com/news/conservation-notes-lightning-bugs/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[Once I figured out that lightning bugs really wouldn’t “zap” me, I fell in love with them as a young girl. During the summer nights in the country, I loved running around the yard barefoot chasing and catching lightning bugs. That is one of my favorite summer memories I have growing up on the farm. Hopefully it will be a memory that I can share with my three nieces this summer.
To this day, I am still fond of them lighting up the summer sky. In the evening, I enjoy sitting outside on my porch...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[

Two topics I wish to touch that are appropriate:

    Producers have been coming into the Farm Service Agency office to certify their crops and report acres.&#160; Some have come in to report acres that they have added to their fields.&#160; This is called sod-busting.&#160; Most of the time, producers are clearing old buildings and plowing up old pastures.&#160; We want to inform producers that the new 2008 Farm Bill included provisions to protect endangered species such as the Indiana...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Corn and soybean planting is completed. Now that crops are in the ground, it is time for me to start my planting. My mom and I ventured to the local nursery this past weekend. I was so excited when she suggested we go. Like a little kid in a candy store, I could hardly concentrate where to begin when we arrived. Knowing that I wanted to use some of my grandmother’s clay flower pots, I went straight to the annuals and picked out some flowers in my favorite colors…yellow and purple. I managed to...]]></description>
