    These awards are presented yearly to farmers or farm owners who are doing exceptional work to protect soil and water resources. One winner is selected from each of the major river basins for the Grand Basin Clean Water Farm Award.

    Several winning farms are owned and operated by third or fourth generations of the same family. Some go back even further, such as the Belle-Hampton Farm in Pulaski County, which was established in 1767 by ancestors of the Hoge Family.
