The Wayne Soil and Water Conservation District’s Board of Supervisors and Staff would like to award the 2020 Conservation Farm Award to Tim & Karen Anderson. Tim and his wife Karen, own and operate a 170-acre farm located in Chester Township. Their farm has been in the Anderson family since 1974 and the Andersons have established and maintained conservation practices for nearly half a century. Tim & Karen grow several crops on about 150-acres of the farm including corn, soybeans and wheat. The Anderson’s utilize conservation practices including 100% no-till, grassed waterways, strip cropping, contour farming, tile drainage, crop residue management and cover crops. Tim & Karen are very proud of their cover crops, which are a mixture of sun hemp, buckwheat, radishes, hairy vetch and clover. Tim believes that conservation is not something you try, it is something you have to commit to from the beginning. Because of their commitment to conservation, please join us on congratulating Tim & Karen Anderson in winning the 2020 Conservation Farm Award!
