The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation sponsors the Clean Water Farm Award, recognizing farmers who implement conservation practices and are doing their part to preserve water quality. Nathan Eulo of Eulo Farms was the recipient of this award. Nathan farms about 1,500 acres of cropland and has about 20 acres of woodland. He utilizes several BMP’s including no-till farming methods, cover crops, and 100-foot buffers on any farmland adjacent to wetland soils. He also follows a nutrient management plan to help decrease run-off into the Chesapeake Bay. He has participated in career days with local schools explaining the importance and role of a farmer.
From the pool of Virginia Clean Water Farm Award recipients, one person is selected for exemplary management practices in each of Virginia’s major river basins each year. Nathan was selected as the 2024 Grand Basin Coastal Award recipient. He received special recognition during a ceremony in Roanoke at the VA Association of Conservation Districts Annual Meeting.
