While the Conservation in Action Tour was parked under the trees in the shade at one stop, we heard from local farmer, J.N. Mills. Pictured behind him is Eric Randolph, another local farmer we also heard from.

A portion of the farm that J.N. operates was a grant from the king of England in the 1600’s. We were definitely seeing some historical places on this tour! One of the ways this farmer has worked to keep soil and nutrients in place is by installing waterways, stream buffers, stream fencing and wetlands. Besides row crop farming he also has a 165 unit cow/calf operation. J.N. says he hopes to have a family farm that he can pass along to the next generation. J.N. Mills Presentation
