About the Farm:

Paul Dietmann has a 67-acre crop and livestock farm located in the Otter Creek Watershed. Of his 67-acres, 9 are hay, 10 are pasture, and 48 are managed forest. They rent out the 19 agriculturally productive acres and manage their land to minimize erosion and nutrient runoff.

​

Paul's land is enrolled in Farmland Preservation and he also has a 590 Nutrient Management Plan in place. He's developed a forest management plan and a grazing plan for his land. Furthermore, he has spent a lot of time over the past five years clearing invasive species in his woods and pastures (primarily multiflora rose and honeysuckle), and has also built hi-tensile fence to support managed grazing.
