Did you know that the Washtenaw County Conservation District (WCCD) has equipment that  local producers and landowners can rent for conservation purposes? Joining hand tools for tree planting, garden planting, invasive species removal, and soil testing, as well as herbicide application tools for use in invasive and noxious plants, is a Truax Flex-II 88 No-Till Drill.

The WCCD purchased the Truax No-Till Drill earlier this year and it is now available for rent! The no-till drill is designed to plant grasses and legumes for agricultural conservation and native restoration projects. For more information and/or to reserve the drill, visit https://www.washtenawcd.org/ and click on “Tools & Equipment Rental” under the “Resources” tab at the top of the page.
