Hulettes receive conservation award Jeff and Rachel Hulette have been named the 2010 Campbell County Conservation District Cooperators of the Year. This district award is a part of the National Association of Conservation Districts’ recognition program. Jeff and Rachel were nominated for the award by the Campbell County Conservation District and Natural Resources Conservation Service for their hard work to improve the quality of their land in Campbell County. The Hulettes run a 175acre farm on the Licking River in southwestern Campbell County. The farm, known as Kenton Farm, was the home of a thoroughbred that ran in the 1928 Kentucky Derby. When they purchased the property it was being leased for tobacco and hay production. The Hulettes enlisted the help of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Campbell County Conservation District, Campbell County Cooperative Extension Service, and the Kentucky Division of Forestry to convert their farm to cattle production. The USDA Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) provided financial assistance for fencing to develop a rotational grazing system. Pastures were treated with lime, according to the soil test recommendations, and seeded with clover as need-

One critical issue in any livestock operation is water. Guttering was installed on the barn to capture rain water from the roof. The Kentucky Soil Erosion and Water Quality Cost Share Fund and EQIP provided financial assistance for installation of the guttering, cistern, pipelines and water tanks to get water to the paddocks for the cattle. The barn has been renovated to accommodate cattle handling facilities to aid in carrying out vaccinations and other routine work to ensure the health and safety of the herd. The Hulettes have installed other practices without the help of cost share to prevent soil erosion and protect the natural resources entrusted to their care.
