In 2010, my family was recognized by the state of Illinois for our efforts in soil and water conservation on our farm. Strip tillage, rock dams in the creek, and CRP (conservation reserve program) land that is set aside on the farm all contributed to my family being recognized for conservation efforts. Environmental integrity is important to farmers because our livelihood and success depends on things like soil fertility, water quality, and other resources our crops and animals need to stay healthy and grow.
I am very proud of my family and the steps they have taken to conserve the environment!
