DeForests receive Bankers Award
Charles D. "Chuck" and Cathy DeForest of rural Florence will receive a Bankers Award Saturday at the Marion County Conservation District annual banquet.
Chuck has been active in installing and maintaining many conservation practices on the land he farms.
Using EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program) funds, Chuck installed waterways and terraces on one tract of land to conserve the soil.
Altogether, he has installed 10.2 acres of waterways, 17,801 feet of terraces, and 500 feet of diversion terraces. He was the first in the county to install a designed pipe drop structure, using 150 feet of pipe on two terraces.
