Why? Because "....new developments across the country are happening at an alarming rate: one acre every sixty seconds....Most of that new development took place on farmland." #whywework #shenandoahvalley #conservation

COMMENTARY: There has never been a better time to fence cattle out of streams. Virginia this year provided a record amount of funding for agricultural cost-share, and the USDA is also receiving historic levels of investment in farm conservation practices.

Fencing is voluntary in Virginia now. But come July 1, 2026, it could become mandatory if Bay cleanup goals haven't been met.
