A Hertford County family has won the 1994 Good Earth Family Award for North Carolina.
The J.L. Storey family of Winton received the award Sept. 16 for efforts in conservation farming.
State Agriculture Commissioner Jim Graham called the Storey family ``guardians of the land for future generations.''
``They see the land as a treasure,'' Graham said. ``They understand that farmers can reap its benefits and serve as stewards. The Storeys make a living and provide high-quality food and fiber for the citizens of North Carolina.''
The family uses 465 acres of land and 300 acres of rented property. by CNB
