Ag Plastics Baling Demonstration, Wednesday July 9

Clinton County Soil and Water Conservation District is getting a Big Foot Baler, so the farmers in our county can start recycling their agricultural plastics such as bale wrap, silage covers, pesticide containers, greenhouse plastics, and maple tubing. The demonstration starts at 10am. Come see how farmers in our area are striving to be more environmentally friendly by condensing agricultural plastics into dense bales for recycling. Call the Clinton County office at 518.561.7450 for more information and details about the location.
