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.
