2020 Indiana River Friendly Farmer Awards2021-02-05T13:31:27https://www.dearborncounty.org/egov/apps/document/center.egov?view=item&id=28630News4
Dearborn County SWCD 2020 Indiana River Friendly Farmer awards go to Lobenstein Farms, Eric Callahan and Wolfert Farms, Kim & Kurt Wolfert.
The Indiana 92 Soil & Water Conservation Districts have an opportunity each year to nominate two individuals from their county for the Indiana award.
Normally, the winners are invited to an Awards Ceremony during the Indianapolis State Fair, however, last year the ceremony was cancelled because of COVID restrictions.
The winners receive a certificate signed by the Indiana Lt. Governor, a blue ribbon, hats and shirts with the River Friendly Farmer Logo on them, and a huge sign they can post on their property.
We also recognize our winners during the Dearborn County Annual SWCD Meeting. This year, we held a presentation prior to the annual meeting that will be done virtual. The video of the winners receiving their awards from Dearborn County SWCD will be included in the virtual Annual Meeting to be held on Thursday, March 11th. Mark your calendars and join us. Watch for posts on this Facebook page with more details. You can also contact Jessica Rayburn by email at jessica.rayburn@in.nacdnet.net
