FARMER HARMIN

There once was a man named Harmin

Who spent all his time just farmin'

He started to boil

Guys weren't saving soil

And he thinks that's just alarmin'. 

 

Second Place (Fifth Grade)

LITTER IS BITTER

Pick up litter

If you don't you are just being bitter

I'll give you a choice

Speak up and use your voice

Will you be bitter or just simply pick up litter?

 

Third Place (Fifth Grade)

MR. FOTTER WASTES WATER

There was a man named Mr. Fotter

He always wasted lots of water

Then one Thursday morning

He received a warning

"The water's gone" said Mrs. Lotter 

 

First Place (Seventh Grade)

CROP ROTATION

The farmer's crop he might switch;

The soil he tries to keep rich.

Crop Rotation

Is Conservation.

The soil stays nice and rich.

 

Second Place (Seventh Grade)

BUFFER STRIPS

Buffer strips are really great,

They act like a little gate,

To keep the soil

Not in turmoil,

And stays in a very good state. 

 

Third Place (Seventh Grade)

WATERWAY

I built a waterway,

I really can say,

"They hold the dirt;

It does not hurt,

And the grass we use for hay.

 

Students with winning entries and their teachers will be recognized at the Franklin County Conservation District Annual Meeting on Thursday January 31, 2008.
