ALT NRCS Regional Conservationist in the West, Astor Boozer, and NRCS Oregon State Conservationist, Ron Alvarado, visited Marion County on July 27, 2023. Owner and operator, Todd Ditchen, acted as their tour guide on a visit to Five Oaks Farm. On the tour, the group discussed the ways in which Conservation Implementation Strategies are used in Marion County and the success of each strategy. The group discussed improvements in irrigation, water saving ability, and soil health practices. Photo credit: NRCS Oregon District Conservationist, Les Bachelor.
