FULTON COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
113 HALES MILLS ROAD EXT.
JOHNSTOWN, NY 12095

Our ultimate goal of the AEM program is to conserve and protect the natural resources of Fulton County and in the process help farmers make cost-effective, science-based decisions to keep their operation current while meeting business objectives.
Farmers work with local AEM resource professionals to develop comprehensive farm plans using a tiered process:
-
Tier 1 – Inventory current activities, future plans and potential environmental concerns.
-
Tier 2 – Document current land stewardship; assess and prioritize areas of concern.
-
Tier 3 – Develop conservation plans addressing concerns and opportunities tailored to farm goals.
-
Tier 4 – Implement plans utilizing available financial, educational and technical assistance.
-
Tier 5 – Evaluate to ensure the protection of the environment and farm viability
