Hagerstown Woman Recognized For Land Conservation

When Ann Bowers signed up almost 17 acres of her Broadfording-area farm in 1997 for inclusion in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, she didn't realize she was a pioneer.

"Protecting our natural resources -- our soil and water -- should be an integral part of every farming operation," Bowers said during her presentation this year in a CREP ceremony at U.S. Department of Agriculture headquarters.
