Abstract:
Agriculture has recently faced criticism because of its contributions to soil erosion, pollution of groundwater, exposure to pesticides, and cultivation of environmentally sensitive and marginally productive land. Research coordinated by Dr. Larry King at North Carolina State University is exploring “alternative agriculture” or low-input, sustainable agricultural practices. This research could enhance the competitiveness of alternative methods and help solve water quality problems.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development and the North Carolina Association of Soil and Water Districts will request funding to further expand the Agricultural Cost Share Program for Nonpoint Source Pollution Control. The program helps farmers with the costs of implementing farm conservation practices aimed at reducing the input of agricultural nonpoint source pollution into water courses.

Abstract:
Because of their efficiency in filtering nutrients, sediments, and pathogens, the creation of streamside buffers and wetlands restoration are two approaches to returning the Neuse River to a healthy condition.

Abstract:
Nine counties in North Carolina have provided financial support for ten technicians to help implement agricultural best management practices for nonpoint source pollution controls. The counties are among those in the Falls, Jordan, and Chowan River Watersheds where farmers are eligible to receive cost-share assistance from state appropriations for practices to reduce agricultural nonpoint source pollution.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Agricultural Cost Share Program for Nonpoint Source Pollution Control, which provides farmers up to seventy-five-percent of the cost of implementing conservation practices to reduce agricultural pollution of water bodies, was initiated in 1985 in sixteen counties in nutrient-sensitive watersheds. The program has produced both environmental and economic benefits, and is expanding to include additional counties.

Abstract:
A Water Resource Research Institute project initiated in 1987 and aimed at determining the effectiveness of vegetative buffers in removing sediment and nutrients from agricultural drainage has been extended and expanded under a cooperative funding agreement among several agencies and university scientists. The results of the study should allow more accurate prediction of how vegetative buggers can aid in solving agricultural nonpoint source pollution problems.

Abstract:
Researchers at North Carolina State University recommend that agricultural producers in coastal North Carolina continue to use wetlands to filter sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus from water drained from agricultural fields despite evidence that artificial flooding will change the nature of wetland forests. Their recent studies suggest some guidelines for more effectively using wetland buffers to remove pollutants from agricultural drainage.
