Community Vision - Less Flooding, Cleaner Water

Aug 09, 2023

In 2019, the Boone River Watershed Management Authority (WMA) was established, swiftly setting its course of action. Now, it's turning to local citizens of five counties, seeking their wisdom and innovative solutions.

Their primary goals include refining water quality, tackling flooding issues, promoting on-farm preservation, and augmenting recreational and biodiversity hotspots. The WMA believes that the path to real progress is through collective decision-making.

As Dean Kluss, the leading voice of WMA, puts it, the essence of this movement is about ensuring everyone has a say, from common residents to farming professionals. All ideas, whether common ones like using cover crops or more unique ones are appreciated, especially since there's money to put them into action.

TC Loving, who speaks for the Humboldt County Soil and Water group, explained what WMAs do. They help cities, counties, and conservation groups work together, focusing on nature instead of political areas.

Loving notes, "In places like Boone River Watershed, it's evident that nature doesn't operate on man-made borders. That's why our solutions are crafted with nature's blueprints in mind."

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
