Farmers Honored For Conserving ARLINGTON, Va. The R.M.D. Shultz Farm, a 95-cow dairy operation in Danville, Pa., was honored recently for its out standing efforts to implement con servation practices that reduce agricultural pollution during the Fifth Annual Chesapeake Bay Conservation Awards Dinner at the Loews Annapolis Hotel, 126 West St., in Annapolis, Md. Ele ven other bay-area award winners were also honored. Co-sponsored by the Izaak Walton League of America (IWLA) and the Du Pont Com pany, the annual awards recognize individuals, businesses, and orga nizations for their dedication to restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. Among the first farmers in the Danville area to sign up with the Pennsylvania Chesapeake Bay Program, the three Shultz brothers have installed a stream protection system and an agriculture waste storage facility in an effort to improve water quality by cutting down on agricultural runoff. In addition, they formed a crop man agement association with other county fanners and implemented numerous soil conservation practices. “The League congratulates these hard-working conservation ists for making a difference in the fight to save the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed,” said IWLA Executive Director Jack Lorenz. “The future of the bay looks hope ful if citizens get involved in restoration efforts.” Dr. Bruce W. Karrh, vice presi dent of safety, health, and envir onmental affairs for Du Pont, agreed. He said, “While rebuild ing and maintaining a healthy Chesapeake Bay ecosystem may be difficult, with the help of peo ple such as the Shultzes, the bay will continue to benefit future generations.” CRIPPLED AND DISABLED COWS, STEERS & BULLS Slaughter Under USDA Inspection FREE CALL 1-800-234-COWS (2697) 215-286-9400 Wayne Taylor Lebanon, Berks, Lancaster & Chester Co.
