, ( 'iVW SIX The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, December 6, 1979 named 1 1 v i 4 Don and Jean Bennett, Heppner area farmers, have been named State Conserva tion Winners of the Year, in an award announced Monday at the Oregon Wheat Growers League meeting in Portland. The Bennetts competed for the honor against county conservation winners through out the state. They own 3,320 acres near Heppner. The farm is Jean Bennett's family farm where she has lived all her life. The Bennetts have about 400 acres in dryland wheat, 150 acres of alfalfa, and the remainder is rangeland. The wheat land is steep, but very productive, averaging over 40 bushels per acre. They also lease an additional 1,639 acres, with 175 of this wheat land. The Bennetts have installed 57,165 feet of terraces, 1 acre of grassed waterway, 16 sediment dams, 1 farm pond, and seeded 167 acres of wheat land to grass. Don Bennett was the leader in organizing the Heppner Water Control District. This district put the entire water shed above Heppner into a special conservation project which made all cropland in the watershed eligible for cost sharing for terraces, water ways, and sediment dams, and other land treatments designed to control erosion and lessen the flood threat to Heppner. Jean Bennett is a member of the Morrow County School Board. She also works part time as a brand inspector for the state. Both Don and Jean are very active in many other commu nity and farm organizations, including Oregon Wheat Growers League, Oregon Cat tlemen's Association, Cow belles, Farm Bureau, 4-H Leaders and Rural Fire Dis- Kerr chosen to represent Wheat League Harold Kerr, Heppner, Mor row County Extension Service agent, has a January date to travel to a land of winter sunshine. He has been chosen by the Oregon Wheat Growers League to attend the annual convention of the National Association of Wheat Growers in Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 13-17, ., 1980. The selection came about as a result of a resolution adopted last year by the Oregon league's membership committee. The resolution commented that Oregon State University extension agents had been instrumental in working with the league in wheat-producing counties. One agent was to be selected each year and sent to that year's national conven tion. The selection was to be made on a rotating basis. The agent receiving the honor would be paid the same honorarium as the appointed delegates. Kerr graduated from Ore gon State University in 1952 and received a master of education degree from Colo rado State University in 1968. He was an extension agent in Crook County before moving to Morrow County in 1969. He is president-elect of the Oregon Extension Associa tion, president of the Willow Creek Country Club and is a director of the Oregon County Agents' Association. Kerr also serves as secre tary of the Oregon Wheat Growers League's National Farm Programs Committee.
