No-Till Rent-A-Drill Program
Helps farmers to effectively plant crops and pasture on the rolling topography of West Central Georgia using the No-Till planting method.
Because of the rolling topography of West Central Georgia, the only way to plant without excessive soil erosion is through the use of the no-till planting method. Seed is placed directly in the ground in one pass without prior soil preparation, saves fuel, and eliminates exposing topsoil to wind and water erosion.
A custodial agreement with the four member soil and water conservation districts (Lamar SWCD, Pine Mountain SWCD, Roosevelt SWCD and Towaliga SWCD) make nine no-till units available for rent by local farmers and cattlemen in the Two Rivers Council area. Wildlife enthusiasts have also found the program to be very beneficial to wildlife when establishing food plots on transmission rights-of-way and other open areas needing habitat improvement. However, these drills are not designed for small, isolated food plot use. To date, the Two Rivers No-Till Drill Program has served more than 12,200 Georgians who collectively planted over 205,000 acres the no-till way. The success and continuing need for the program can be measured by its longevity which now stretches into its 22nd year of operation.

Roadstripe-RPM Service
The Rural Road Stripe program offers county governments an affordable alternative for painting highway center and edge lines and installation of raised pavement marker service at a cost lower than the industry standard.
The striping unit, called an EZ-Liner, uses state-of-the-art airless technology and a video guidance system to provide precise applications of highway traffic paints. The program, which often results in a 30-40% savings to the taxpayer, provides a trained operator, materials and equipment. Two Rivers has additional equipment that provides the application of raised pavement markers for increased visibility.

Watershed Dam Rehabilitation
Through a collaborative effort with Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission (GSWCC), working under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, Two Rivers has entered into contracts to manage the performance of site preparation and rehabilitation work at watershed dams across Georgia. Work includes heavy clearing, tree and stump removal, mulching, seeding and other tasks necessary to provide a safe environment for residents and landowners who immediately surround or live in close proximity to the dam.
Developed for rough terrain, the TigerCat is a fuel-efficient mulching machine strong enough to reduce huge volumes of trees and brush into environmentally desirable mulch. The unit uses an 8 ft. wide, high-speed rotary cutting head to grind brush and trees up to 18 inches in diameter leaving a protective layer of nutrient-rich biomass in its path. Its wide tracks make a soft “footprint” protecting soil structure even in damp conditions or uneven terrain.
Whether you’re clearing land for a new home or just need firebreaks to protect your existing home or property, do it without the liabilities of sediment and smoke. The TigerCat Service is now available through a cooperative agreement with JPV International. Please contact the office at tworiversrcd@hotmail.com or 706-885-0101 for more details.
