The Farm at Wheeler Mountain raises a mixed breed herd of 70 milking cows, crops about 200 acres of hay and no-till corn silage, and pastures 50 acres. The farm is an excellent example of an Orleans County farm employing conservation practices. Come see these practices in action!
Adam and Joanna Lidback, owners of the Farm at Wheeler Mountain, have been working with the District since 2017 to meet the Required Agricultural Practices on their farm and to enhance conservation best management practices. The Lidbacks have committed to employ various conservation practices including no-till and cover cropping of their corn fields, improved heifer manure storage, added livestock exclusion fencing, and the planting of riparian areas.
