Winners
National S
ANNAPOLIS, MD Gover
nor William Donald Schaefer has
congratulated Montgomery Coun
ty farmer Howard H. Williams and
his wife, Christina, who are Mary
land’s winners and one of ten
national finalists for the 1987
National Soil and Water Conserva
tion Award presented by the
National Endowment for Soil and
Water Conservation and funded by
the DuPont Company.
Williams, who farms 700 acres
near Boyds, Maryland, was recog
nized for integrating sound, inno
vative, and cost-effective conser
vation techniques into his farm
management program. Working
with his wife Christina, Williams
has incorporated best management
pracuccs such as conservation til
lage, contour stripping, crop rota
tion, construction of grass water
ways and diversions, sediment
control ponds, and use of inte
grated pest management into their
farm management plan. Williams
was one of the first farmers in
Maryland to participate in the
Maryland Agricultural Cost-Share
Program, and is anxious that the
public gain a greater appreciation
of the efforts of farmers in preserv
ing the environment.
In a letter to the Williamses,
Governor Schaefer stressed the
importance of public recognition
of all of Maryland farmers who
make conservation a priority in
their day-to-day operations, and
who have collectively placed over
two hundred thousand acres under
conservation plans since 1980.
“Agriculture is one of Mary
land’s most important industries,”
said Governor Schaefer, “and con
servation is an investment which
pays dividends in a healthy agri

cultural economy. Maryland is
often thought of as an urban state,”
die Governor continued, “but here
is a farmer who keeps farming
right in the shadow of Washington,
D.C. We are proud of Maryland
farmers like Howard Williams and
his family, and I want people to
know that both conservation and
agriculture arc alive and well in
Maryland.”

extension agent in Union and
Snyder counties. He moved to Erie
County in 1954, and since 1956
has served as county extension
director.
Urash’s main responsibilities
involved staff support and deve

family living. “I’ve found the most
satisfaction over the years in staff
development,” he says. “We’ve
had some fine people come
through Erie County, and a num
ber of them are still here. It’s been
rewarding to see these people
develop in extension and in other

Fairly good buys are avocados,
