Partnership With Conservation Groups
Their farm is located in the north-central area of the County and is considered a model. They were chosen for their willingness to try new practices, their leadership within the farming community, and their progressive thinking for incorporating technology. They have worked closely with Davidson Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to implement conservation plans and installed many modern conservation practices and best management practices on the farm to address the natural resource concerns of the farm to improve soil health, and wildlife habitat.
The Yowell's are diligent in maintaining the overall appearance of the farm and their property. In addition to be our 2016 Conservation Farm Family, their farm was also selected as the 2016 Area VIII Outstanding Conservation Farm Family, which consists of 12 Counties. They were honored at our Annual Awards Banquet in October for their conservation activities, stewardship, community leadership, conservation practices and conservation knowledge. Congratulations to Seth and Sarah for being our 2016 Conservation Farm Family and thank you for helping protect our natural resources.
