Harvest fundraiser for new school project was a success

he Carlyle Community Complex Foundation has been very busy holding fundraisers for the new school in the town.

They have been fundraising since August 2022 and in the spring of 2023, they received word from the provincial government that Carlyle would receive a new school for pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 students. It will include a daycare.

This sent the small community into a celebration as they had been waiting for this news for 10 years.

Foundation committee chairwoman Tammie Riddell said they needed to have something bigger for a fundraiser, as selling hotdogs and doing vendor stands would take a long time to raise the money needed for the project.

Residue Management

Video: Residue Management

Residue Management conservation practice manages the amount, orientation, and distribution of crop and other plant residue on the soil surface year-round while limiting soil-disturbing activities used to grow and harvest crops in systems where the field surface is tilled prior to planting. This video explores how Ryan McKenzie implemented this conservation practice on his farm in Samson, Alabama.

Practice benefits:

• Increases organic matter

• Improves air quality

• Decreases energy costs

• Reduces erosion

• Improves soil health

The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
