It shows I'm doing something right. Bowman's father, Theodore Bowman Sr., had leased a section of the farm to Eugene Teal, who had operated a municipal, commercial and industrial waste landfill on the property from the late 1950s through the early 1970s. The younger Bowman, who said he had nothing to do with the landfill, began operating the farm in 1973 after his father died. The farm, which borders Mississinewa River, is bisected by Ind. 67. The structures trap sediment and allow water to drain slowly.
Speed is what makes erosion.
This keeps the soil on the farm. There's only one farmer in Delaware County who has more WASCoB's than I do. Bowman's farm tends to be highly erodible because of its numerous slopes. Establishing grassed waterways to reduce erosion and sediment loading into the river. Such grassy channels are shaped and graded to carry storm water to the river at a non-erosive velocity.
