FY 2005 Conservation Security Program

The watershed contains 1,998 farms and lies in central Oklahoma entirely within the state. Major agriculture enterprises include livestock grazing and hay production on native range, introduced forages and some small grains. Cropland agriculture is a minor component of the agriculture enterprises in the watershed. Grazing land practices include prescribed grazing, water development, cross fencing, pasture fertilization, grade stabilization, brush management, nutrient management, and pest management for weeds. The majority of the pasture in the watershed was established on previously cropped field deemed marginal or unsuitable for continued cultivation. Swine production is localized within the watershed and waste management related activity is planned and utilized within the watershed.
