Dear Customers
and Water Management Specialists,


It seems like I’ve noticed more soil erosion this year after rain storms than normal. The Federal EPA and State Environmental Agencies tell us that many of our waters are “impaired” and that the single largest non-point source cause of that impairment is sediment.

We also know that the loss of top soil from fields reduces the natural ability of that field to produce crops. So in order to satisfy the increased demand for corn and beans and generate a greater return on increasingly expensive land, we apply higher rates of commercial fertilizer. Some of this fertilizer leaches into the water and further impacts its quality.

It seems like if we are really serious about ensuring a sustainable, highly productive, economically efficient and environmentally friendly ag industry, then we, as a country should invest more in our natural resources.

Please encourage your state and federal policy makers to support soil conservation and water quality practices like terraces, improved waterways, wetlands, drainage water management, and buffers before we further degrade the quality of our water and lose more of the fertile soil we have been blessed with.

As always, if we do a good job for you, please tell your buddy. If we don’t, please tell me so we can make it right.

At Your Service,


Charlie Schafer, President
