Farmland Trust
“Among 1.100 land trusts
throughout the country, none have
accomplished what we have here,"
Musselman said.
While the trust has a member
ship of 2,300 people, Musselman
admonished, “Membership should
be at 23,000, and the investment
fund jump from six figures to the
millions.” „
Boyd was honored with a spe
cial award and a standing ovation
for his six years of working tire
lessly for the organization.
“It is a great honor,” Boyd said
of the award. “I believe there is no
greater cause than church and my
good Lord than to keep ag as a
strong viable part of the county.
Others say you can’t do anything
about it (land development). But
you can. We believe in progress
but only so much land has Class
one soil.”
