As a farmer, I am a steward of the land and it’s animals.
My job is to feed both people and nature, to build up the world around me.
Farmers are healers of the land and providers of the people.
I will do my best to keep a clean and healthy environment that would be pleasing to God

The french drains could be directed into swales.
Do you have a low area where it would be convenient to drain the water?
