Study Touts Farm Preservation Benefits For Burlco
Bio Clean Fuel The Burlington County freeholders heard an interim report on the progress of the Route 206 Farm Belt Study this week that shows the county is a leader in the state's agricultural industry.
Yes, ULSD fuels have a lower BTU value and thus when burned in a diesel engine will result in less power. Cetane enhanced products can offset this power loss. Cetane is a high energy compound that makes the fuel burn more completely in the combustion chamber, resulting in more power, reduced emissions, and improved fuel economy. Power Service diesel additives contain "+ Cetane Boost" to offset this power loss while also improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.
Earth Bio Fuel "This is an interim status report on the Route 206 planning effort as we look at the viability of the county's farmland and growth," said Robert Kull, the county's regional planning coordinator.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste Farming in the county is important as a land use, lifestyle and as an industry, said Brian Schilling, consultant with the Heinrich-Schilling Joint Venture, the company performing the study.
New research from Halifax has shown that over 25% of homeowners have undertaken energy and fuel saving improvements to their property in the least year.
Make Bio Fuel "The farmers are feeling a lot of growth pressures," Schilling told the freeholders. "Farming has been a part of Burlington County for 300 to 400 years."
New research has indicated that more investment in energy efficiency could help to reduce fuel poverty.
Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties There are 857 farms in the county. A significant portion of them are concentrated in the Route 206 Farm Belt.
Fuel Cell Bio To keep farming successful, officials must ensure an adequate farmland base, opportunities for farming as an industry to remain viable, have farmers willing to farm and encourage municipal officials to keep farming in the region, Schilling said.
Bio Conversion Fuel "One of the problems is a lot of the farmers are getting older and there are not a lot of young ones coming into the industry," Schilling said.
Green Energy About 60 percent of the prime agricultural soils are concentrated in the Farm Belt and it's important to protect those lands.
Bio Ethanol Fuel Agriculture is linked to other industries in the county, Schilling said.
Bio Clean Fuel Agricultural production contributes $135.2 million to the county's economy. Of that, $87.5 million comes from actual farm commodity sales, $26.2 million from support industries such as seed, grain and equipment sales and $21.5 million from increased household spending, Schilling said.
Earth Bio Fuel Top commodities in the county, based on 1997 figures, the latest available, are $28.8 million in fruit, nut and berry production, $26.9 million from the sale of nursery and greenhouse products, $9.4 million from the sale of grains, $9.1 million from the sale of vegetables and $3.1 million from the sale of dairy products, Schilling said.
Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 Using the same information data base, 57 percent of the farms in Burlington County show net gains while only 45 percent of the state's farms shows net profits, the interim report said.
Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste "Some farmers say they can't support themselves entirely with their farm income and have to work jobs off the farm," Schilling said.
Make Bio Fuel Municipalities must be encouraged to develop a master plan to sustain agriculture and preserve farmland and write codes to support farming.
Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties "Nobody (in municipal government) seems to have the vision that there should be 15,000 to 17,000 acres of farmland preserved forever," said Helen Heinrich, company consultant.
Fuel Cell Bio Kull said the county should look to having an agricultural development coordinator who would seek economic development opportunities for farming and to help farmers with land use and other issues.
Bio Conversion Fuel "It may be important to offer municipalities incentives to encourage farmland preservation," Kull said.
Green Energy "You should also look for ways to develop and encourage future farmers by providing scholarships to students and encourage them to look towards a career in farming. That is the status of where we are in this process. There will be more as the study continues through the summer," she said.
