“Since purchasing our Roskamp Roller Mixer we have noted the following changes
1 Better herd health 2 Increased Butterfat of 2%, even though
3 No dust in the feed improved the we almost eliminated bicarb from our
palatability rations
4 Less separation of the feed in our feeding system
We compared other machines, but were not pleased with the long husks and uneven cob
particles Our Roskamp has more capacity at times we use a Farmall M tractor and the self
contained hydraulics make it easier to use "

He’s ‘King’ of Md. conservationists
Service and a resident of Owings in
Calvert County, was among the 45
individuals and 14 groups honored
by the Agriculture Department at
its 38th annual honor awards
program.
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.
According to Gerald R. Calhoun,
SCS state conservationist, King
was singled out for his superior
leadership in promoting low-cost

conservation practices and for his
salesmanship and training
abilities.
“Buddy started the back-to
basics philosophy in Maryland
showing farmers how to use their
own equipment to install con
servation practices. 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

William (Buddy) King, Calvert County, Md. 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.
King’s ability to teach others is
one of his strongest attributes,

I make my living processing feed commercially in a county with heavy concentration of
dairy cows I have had almost six years experience in rolled crushed feed processing
My farmer friends can readily see the advantages of less dust more even textured more
palatable feed
I recently purchased my second Roskamp crusher roller unit and I can t think of a better
guy to have on my side
After trying some units with no screens which claimed to keep going when the others quit
I soon quit trying
A farmer wants uniform feed not stringy husky strands etc
Roskamp helped me please my farmers and their cows to a T and hey when you make
your living making nice feed that’s the bottom line

says Dave Bourdon, Prince
George’s Soil Conservation
District. “He doesn’t just give you
the answer to a problem,” says
Bourdon. “He shows you how to get
the answer.”
King is also recognized as an
expert in designing practices to
control erosion and storm water
runoff in urban areas. 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.
