The Annual Meeting of the Highland SWCD was held on Oct. 15 at the Hi-TEC Center in Hillsboro. During the meeting, several awards were presented and the election of supervisors took place.

Tim and Sandy Shoemaker of Millstone Creek Farm took home top honors at this year's Annual Meeting by being named the 2015 Cooperator of the Year by the Highland SWCD supervisors and staff.

The Shoemakers were selected due to their devotion to agricultural and the determination to improve soil and water quality throughout their operation. They have installed and utilized various conservation practices over the years.

They are a well-respected couple in the agricultural industry and provide an outstanding example of how to incorporate conservation practices that will protect the natural resources of Highland County.
