The WAC was started todeal with increased regulations from the Surface WaterTreatment Rule of the Safe Drinking Water Act. After 20 yearsthe WAC has become a national model for surface watersystems management dealing with nonpoint source pollutionusing sound agricultural and forestry Best ManagementPractices (BMPs). A 20th celebration was held in Delhi onNovember 8, 2013. The Watershed Agricultural Program (WAP)honored the Darling Family of Dar-View Farm, Delancey, withthe first-ever WAP award to recognize a regional farmerparticipating in the WAP for achievements in sustainableagriculture, strong business contribution, and clean water efforts.Congratulations also goes to Fred Huneke, Chairman, Council ofDirectors on receiving the Watershed Steward Award, honoringa vocal advocate of the Council's mission of protecting waterquality, embracing land conservation, and promoting workinglandscapes in agriculture and forestry. A short-formdocumentary video that describes the milestone achievementscan be viewed at nycwatershed.org.In 2013, the Watershed Agricultural Program (WAP)implemented 274 Best Management Practices (BMPs) on 128farms totaling over 2.9 million. The Program partners with localcounty Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) and theUSDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) toprovide technical design and implementation of water qualityBMPs. Farm participants actively followed 335 Whole FarmPlans (WFPs) and 267 Nutrient Management Plans (NMPs) inthe Catskill/Delaware Watersheds and 74 WFPs and 44 NMPsin the Croton Watershed. A percentage of the NutrientManagement Plans are reviewed and updated annually.Funding provided by New York City Department ofEnvironmental Protection (DEP), the USDA and other sourceshelped the Program realize its goals.The 2010 Agriculture Water Enhancement Program (AWEP)grant with a 5-year agreement resulted in Nutrient Managementcontracts for 33 AWEP participants receiving 285,555. Thefirst round of participants in 2010 have completed their 3 year contract in 2013 and if they meet theeligibility requirements they can participate in the expanded Nutrient Management Credit program.Through the USDA Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), 47.4 acres in riparian forestbuffers were enrolled in 2013. CREP helps fence animals out of the surface water supply and provides formore filter areas to improve water quality.The WAP continues to partner with Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) to provide educational programsto area farmers. In 2013, over 700 farmers and farm advisors attended 26 educational programs.Larry Hulle, Watershed Agricultural CouncilRick Weidenbach, Delaware County Soil & Water Conservation DistrictDale Dewing, Cornell Cooperative ExtensionJan Surface, USDA NRCS

USDA Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP)2013 AccomplishmentsThe USDA CREP Program within the NYC Watershed Agricultural Program utilizes thetalents found within the multi-agency team assigned to work in the Watershed to promote,design and establish both Riparian Forest Buffers and Vegetative Buffers alongwatercourses. This year marked the 15th full year of the New York City WatershedConservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) Memorandum of Agreement betweenNew York City, New York State and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). In2013, five Riparian Forest Buffer contracts (three new and two renewals) enrolled anadditional 47.4 acres, increasing the total number of enrolled acres to 2,059.1.2013 Total Implementation ExpendituresTotal Rental Payments (USDA)Sign-Up Incentive Payment (SIP-FSA)Practice Incentive Payment (PIP-FSA)BMP Cost (FSA)BMP Cost (WAP) 63,125 2,730 85,248 82,812 166,140Watershed Agricultural ProgramHistoric CREP BMP Implementation 700,000 600,000 500,000 400,000 300,000 200,000 100,000 02004200520062007Catskill/Delaware Large l/Delaware Small Farms200620072008200920122013Croton Watershed2010201120122013TotalCatskill/Delaware LargeFarms 2,687,033 557,601 616,929 315,034 202,979 162,811 255,789 165,823 139,466 118,538 202,339 5,424,342Catskill/Delaware SmallFarms 354,984 98,829 70,182 120,534 155,360 92,777 158,378 148,507 87,957 84,673 46,613 1,418,794Croton Watershed 17,968 18,547 0 0 0 0 36,515Page 3
Nutrient Management Program 2013 AccomplishmentsThe WoH Nutrient Management Team (NMTeam) is a multi-agency team that assists farmers inimproving phosphorus and pathogen management. Nutrient Management Plans (NMPs) aredesigned to manage the amount, source, placement, form and timing of the application ofnutrients from fertilizer, manure, and other organic sources. All plans are compliant with theNRCS 590 Standard and use the NY Phosphorus Index and Cornell University guidelines toensure that environmental soundness and crop productivity.The NMTeam supports the farmer in implementing a NMP, which will result in protection ofwater quality and producing optimum yields.In planning year 2013, the Nutrient Management team completed 66 nutrient managementplans (49 large farms and 17 small farms). Significant effort was expended in 2013 indeveloping and piloting protocols for implementing the 2013 USDA NY NRCS 590 NutrientManagement standard on 4 pilot farms. These four farms are included in the 49 farmscompleted in 2013. The breakdown of each category and percent current as of 1/1/2014 followsbelow.Table 1.

In 2013, theNMCredit Program was offered to 84 farms, with 82 submitting records. A total of 347,782.22was allocated in credit that farms can utilize to reimburse nutrient management relatedexpenses. The WAP also reviewed and approved manure spreading records for 21 farmsparticipating in the NRCS AWEP program, which is similar to NM Credit, but extends beyond theCannonsville Basin. These farms earned a total of 95,446.69 in federal funds for successfullyimplementing their nutrient management plans in 2013.Page 4

Putting the Face on Buying LocalThe Farm to Market Program collaborated on two keyeconomic initiatives in 2013. With the Center for AgriculturalDevelopment and Entrepreneurship, the program providedmarketing and start-up support to the newly created LuckyDog Local Food Hub. The Hub provides transportationservices for Catskill products delivered to New York Citywholesale buyers.A second initiative, Catskills Family Creameries, broughttogether eight regional farmstead dairy producers, all PureCatskills members. The value-added dairy group isexploring collaborative marketing, distribution andeducational activities like the “Come Travel the Milky Way”open house trail that attracted over 3,000 people to theregion last July. These small family farms produce gelato,butter, yogurt, soft cow’s and goat’s milk cheeses, hardcow’s cheese and fluid milk. Find out more atcatskillsfamilycreameries.com.To date, the Farm to Market and Outreach Programs havespent 4.5 million connecting producers and consumers. In2013, the combined marketing outreach totaled 221,022.Page 6
Town of Tompkins, Delaware CountyCalf HousingThe Jim Backus Calf Housing wasout of life span and due forrepair and restoration.The original coverall structure wasdamaged in a snow storm in 2003.The cover and truss system wasreplaced by WAC, but the interiorcomponents and base structurewere re-used and reutilized. During the Annual Statusreviews, the Landowner brought toBrandon Dennis (planner) andCaption HereWAC’s attention the fact that theoverhead doors and main passEarthen Manure Storage - Beforedoor were inoperable, the grouppens gate system was in disrepairdue to rust and wear/tear, the sand/ gravel interior HUAP base was saturated with organics andnot level, and the automatic watering systems were worn and inoperable.Brandon Dennis (NRCS Planner) andMeghan Filbert (CCE Calf HealthSpecialist) developed a repair andrenovation request noting the deficienciesand life span short comings. The projectreceived approval for construction duringthe 2013 summer construction season.Tim Hebbard (WAC Ag. Eng. Specialist)developed the design package entailing allthe improvements needed.Jim Backus is very pleased withthe finished product. He wasimpressed with the contractor’squality of work and attention todetail and commented that theyhave superior calf health andproductivity using their calfhousing in its updated condition.They look forward to continuedsuccess in years to come.Page 7
Town of Stamford, Delaware CountyConcrete Heavy Use Area and RoofThe Deysenroth farm recently had a concrete heavy use area and roof installed over their calfhutch area. Not only does this roof help prevent calf manure run off into the nearby ditch, it’sunique in that it is entirely translucent.This feature still allows for light to shine on the calves, which is something the Deysenroth’svalue and one reason they chose to raise calves in hutches. On rainy and snowy days, theanimals and bedding stay dry, and the grain stays fresh. During the hot summer, the roof willprovide the calves with much needed shade protection. The concrete pad slopes liquids awayfrom the calves and facilitates cleanup of the bedding.Page 8
Town of Delhi, Delaware CountyCovered BarnyardHeleen Heyning owns and operates West Wind Farm on Dry Brook Road outside of Delhi. Sheboards 20 Icelandic horses, offering lessons, trail riding, and plays host to horse competitions,trainings, and conventions. The work done this year was primarily focused on manuremanagement and handling.Addressed first was the issue of water running through the stalls and barn during high flowevents especially during a thaw. A drip trench (stone and perforated pipe) was installed on thebackside of the barn to give the water a safe area to outlet, away from the concentration ofhorses. Additionally manure from the stalls and other heavily used areas were previously wheelbarrowed to a piling area that was adjacent to a hydrologically sensitive area.A roofed structure off the end of the barn was built to store the accumulated manure andprevent unwanted runoff of manure laden water.Page 9
Town of Hamden, Delaware CountyCovered Bedded Pack Manure StorageThe Howe Farm is a small livestock farm raising goats and beef in the Town of Hamden. TheHowe’s have been participants with the Watershed Agricultural Program since 2007, and thisBMP project culminates the multiple BMPs implemented on this farm over the years, includingCREP.A 40 X 60 foot covered Bedded Pack Manure Storage was implemented in 2013. This BMPmitigates the previous practice of several outside feeding areas in close proximity to awatercourse and will allow the Howes to better manage their nutrient distribution on their farm.Page 10
Town of Hobart, Delaware CountyCalf FacilityFor years, the Lamport’s raised their youngstock in a small room connected to their milkingbarn. The room was consistently overcrowded with calves and the ventilation was poor. Calfraising was the weak link in their operation.In 2013, the farm received a new calf facility. Calves are now housed in individual pens withremovable divider panels between animals. When calves are ready to be weaned, the panelscan be removed to create a group pen of three calves. Small groups are great for sociallytransitioning calves before moving to another area on the farm.The facility is naturally ventilated with adjustable curtains. The curtains span the length of thebarn and can be adjusted according to the weather. The curtains provide calves’ protection fromdraft, but also allow for fresh air to be delivered directly at calf level.Another feature of the facility is the concrete base. The concrete is sloped away from the calvesand is easily cleaned with equipment. When calves are weaned and moved, the pens can bepower washed and properly sanitized. All of these improvements make an ideal environment forcalves and hopefully prove to become one of the strongest links in the Lamport farm operation.Page 11
Town of Andes, Delaware CountySolar Calf FacilityThe improvements made at Roger Liddle’s farm in 2013 have been tremendous. Before thesolar calf facility was built, Roger housed 8 calves in a small tin shed and dealt with calfmortality issues. The calves are now housed in a new solar calf house immediately after birthand begin to prosper.With the help of a young, eager farm employee, new calf management protocols have beenimplemented and Roger is seeing drastic improvements in calf health. He is now keepingrecords of calf birth weights and growth benchmarks, feeding free choice calf grain and water,and vaccinating all calves for respiratory disease and is able to wean calves sooner.On average, calves are gaining 2 pounds of weight per day. Roger said all of his calves used tohave a persistent cough; now the cough is gone. Roger hasn’t lost a calf since the new facilitywas built. The calf facility implemented by WAC has already proven to be an extremelyimportant factor in increased farm viability.Page 12
Farming East of the HudsonThe East of Hudson Program partnered with theNew York State Integrated Pest ManagementProgram in May for a workshop that welcomed35 attendees to the classroom at HilltopHanover Farm and Environmental Center.Three instructors from the IPM Program atCornell University covered the basic principlesof pest management for fruit, vegetable andornamental crop producers.******************************A storage area for horse and livestock manure in Putnam County was lacking suitable runoffcontrol. Due to the proximity of the storage facility to a stream, NRCS Standards could not bemet so the site was selected for a Bioretention Area to collect and treat the runoff as part of apilot study.This Bioretention Area consists of two basins designed to collect and infiltrate waste waterthrough several layers of constructed sand filtration media. Research will be conducted in thecoming years to evaluate the system and measure the level of pollutant removal from the manurestorage area runoff.Manure storageBioretention area next to manure storagePage 13
