David Rohr operates a grain farm in Wayne County with help from his wife Velda. The farm is located in Green Township and consists of 400 acres of cropland with 80 acres of alfalfa rented to Fred and Scott Myers. A conservation plan and nutrient management plan are being followed on the land. A rotation of corn and soybeans is followed with all crops planted no-till or minimum till. The SWCD has assisted with the installation of many conservation practices over the years including crop rotations, conservation tillage, grassed waterways, subsurface drains, contour farming, strip cropping and nutrient management. David has participated in several programs including the Conservation Reserve Program and the Conservation Stewardship Program. In addition to the work on his own farm, David enjoyed being an SWCD Board member for 25 years serving in all capacities including President. He was also an Ohio Federation Director for 10 years. Because of his commitment to conservation, this year’s Farm Award goes to David Rohr!
