The Fillmore Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has announced the selection of David and Alice Terbeest of Canton as the district’s Outstanding Conservationists of the Year. David and Alice will be eligible to compete for Minnesota’s Outstanding Conservationist Award, which will be announced at the 2003 Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts annual meeting set for November 30-December 2 in Bloomington. According to Doug Keene, David and Alice Terbeest were recognized for a variety of reasons. David and Alice are conscientious conservationists applying minimum tillage in a corn/hay rotation. They have many established contour strips and grassed waterways. In addition they have established and maintained a farmstead windbreak and a wildlife pond. “We’re really proud of David and Alice Terbeest and what they have done for conservation in Fillmore County, said Keene. “David and Alice provide a wonderful example for conservationists by the farming habits they demonstrate.”
