King's dedication to soil and water conservation and his non nonsense approach to problem solving has won him the respect of farmers and developers throughout the region. Known as “Mr. Conservationist” in the four counties he serves including Prince George’s, Anne Arundel, Montgomery and Howard, it is his job to help landowners control soil erosion and keep sediment out of streams.

For many farmers, this was the only way they could afford to do it. For example, it costs about $2.00 a foot to hire a bulldozer to install a diversion whereas they could build one with their own tractor for about 25 cents a foot. ’ ’ King started the movement about three years ago when his territory was expanded from Prince George’s County to include the other three. Farmers were hardpressed by high costs and low crop prices. The cost of hiring equipment in these urban counties Donald Sanders R.T. Markle Farm Equip., Inc.

SCS engineering technician. was twice as much as in rural counties. He began by convincing a Howard County farmer to plow in a diversion as a demonstration project. Diversions are small ridges constructed across a hillside to intercept runoff water and channel it to a safe outlet. He then arranged for other con servationists to attend so they could learn, too. Next, he encouraged the con servationists to hold field days in their own counties where these and other conservation practices could be demonstrated to farmers. As a result, said Calhoun, the number of diversions installed during the past few years has increased dramatically.

He does designs for sophisticated control ponds and even shows private engineers with more academic credentials how to correct design problems. “Buddy is a hard worker with an outstanding ability to make other people understand the importance of conserving soil not only for maintaining the productivity of our farmland, but for improving the whole environment,” Calhoun added.
