Agricultural Advisory Committee
Springtime means green grass, blossoms, and warmer temperatures. Some of the first fields that you will see greening up are normally fall planted "winter" wheat, rye, or triticale. The Farmers plant them in the fall on fields after harvest, (weather conditions permitting), as they help hold the soil from erosion over the winter and spring runoffs. They use leftover nutrients, like nitrogen that would leach out of the soil, locking it in the root system and plant. The farmer may just till the crop under and plant the field to another crop in the spring, or they may harvest it as a forage crop (aka hay) or grain and straw. Even if they do harvest the fields before planting again, half to two-thirds of the plants are in the root system underground, decaying and slowly releasing nutrients for the next crop. So enjoy these first green fields of Spring!

Planning Board
The Planning Board held a public hearing for the Dryden 2045 Comprehensive Plan. About 20 people attended in person, and another dozen by Zoom. Comments were mixed, and more comments were coming in through March 31st at the dryden2045.org website. The Planning Board will be reviewing comments in April and figuring out the next steps. The Comprehensive Plan still has to go through more review and the Town Board has to consider it, so there will be more - and more opportunity to comment - ahead.
