Windham County Vermont Natural Resources Conservation District and project partners throughout Vermont and New Hampshire are working to identify and implement the most effective best management practices (BMPs) for reducing nitrogen runoff into the CT River Watershed. NOFA-NH is a member of the CT River Watershed Planning Project steering committee and producer outreach subcommittee.

NOFA-NH is seeking additional farms in Coos and Grafton Counties to host demonstration days for this project. The demonstration day would be a 2-3 hour event at the farm where one of the following BMPs would be discussed and/or demonstrated.

No till/reduced till production

Cover cropping

Agroforestry

Rotational grazing

Nitrogen management

Any farm can participate - organic or not. The time frame to host the event is June through Mid-October 2026.

The farmer would be paid $400 to host. A 50 pound bag of cover crop seed would be provided to each host and attendee at no cost. Cover crop seeds will be available in the late summer/early fall. There is also a $50 stipend available for attendees. NOFA-NH would provide refreshments, event marketing, and support.
