Equipment Rentals at St. Mary's Soil Conservation District

Manure Spreader

    The St. Mary’s Soil Conservation District purchased our manure spreader in response to the Water Quality Improvement Act of 1998. This legislation required all agricultural operations that gross $2,500 or more annually, or have more than eight (8) animal units (one animal unit equals 1,000 pounds), to develop and implement nutrient management plans by certain dates.

    The 16 foot Gehl side discharge manure spreader was purchased in December 14, 2000 with funds provided by the Chesapeake Bay Trust. It is available for lease by all livestock producers so that they can meet the requirements of their nutrient management plan. The spreader can be calibrated to evenly spread manure as low as one ton per acre.

    If you have never leased the spreader before, please print out and mail the rental agreement and lease contract to the District or complete the interest form (see below) and someone will contact
you as soon as possible.

No-Till Drill

The St. Mary’s Soil Conservation District purchased our first no-till drill in July of 1992. The purchase was made using funds provided through a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust. Our current drill, number five purchase in April 2008, is a 10 foot, John Deere, #1590. Proceeds from the rental of the equipment and the sale of used equipment has allowed the District to continue the program and purchase new drills as needed.

If you have never leased the drill before, please print out and mail the rental agreement and lease contract to the District or complete the interest form (see below) and someone will contact you as soon as possible.
