be demonstrating that they care
about water qualify, wildlife, edu
cation, and the environment,” Day
said.
In addition to receiving $75 for
each green stripe (up to eight), the
chapter will be able to compete for
“Best Chapter Award” statewide
and nationally.
The award will be granted to the
chapter that did the best job of
enrolling growers and working
with them to establish buffer strips
that protect* streams and provide
habitat for wildlife.
“We expect to sec some really
exciting innovations from this
program, which has students and
farmers working together,”
Hoogheem said. “This is an
opportunity to tell the non
farming community that farmers,
on their own and without regula
tion, are conducting their opera
tions in an environmentally
responsible way. And, maybe best
of all, it’s a way for future farmers
to learn ecologically sound
practices.”
