The Charles Coil Conservation District held their 21st Annual Cooperator Dinner on Wednesday. This year Michael, Barbara, and Shirley Roberts were named the 2008 Cooperators of the Year. They were cited for their sediment erosion control programs.
These erosion control efforts by our farmers are very important to the health of our streams, rivers, and Chesapeake Bay. The Roberts operate Mill Spring Farm and set an example to using modern methods to address silt runoff and coaxing the most production out of the land. My hat is off to this hard working trio.
