Five Ways Delaware Farmers are Excelling at Sustainability
When Delaware’s soybean farmers began planting this spring, they did so with the environment in mind.
Based on statistics from the United Soybean Board’s “Soy Sustainability” report released in early 2017, Delaware soybean farmers produced 5.5 million bushels on 175,000 acres, averaging 32 bushels per acre in 2010. By 2015, through the responsible use of technology and implementing efficiencies in how they farm, they were able to produce 6.9 million bushels on 173,000 acres, averaging 40 bushels per acre.

A clean-up program by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control now in its second decade is reaching more Delaware farmers to help them rid their properties of scrap tires at little or no cost to their agricultural operations.
For their accumulated scrap tire piles, property owners and farmers alike should call DNREC’s Division of Waste and Hazardous Substances to start the process at 302-739-9403 or visit de.gov/ScrapTires. The farm property owner can then manage the removal themselves or DNREC can contract with approved vendors who will remove scrap tires from the property.
