25 Years Ago
The drought of 1988 put a huge dent in crop production, top soils blew away and erased early plantings; farmers were made aware of the need for soil conservation and new farming techniques. The Soil and Water Conservation District presented awards to outstanding farmers practicing erosion control. Dick and Doug Shock, father and son, received the “Conservation Farmer of the Year” honor. The Goodyear Award presented by Goodyear Tire Company was given to Tom and Becky Price of rural Atwood. John Weyler, rural Pierceton, was given the “Environmental Enhancement Award.” Members of the SWCD board of supervisors are Garry Tom, Richard Sponseller, Don Zolman, Wayne Sholtey and Hubert Krull. District conservationist is Sam St. Clair.
