Yesterday, NPCD Supervisors, NPCD, and NRCS staff visited Chad Lamp’s Farm in Hancock County as part of the West Virginia Conservation Farm of the Year competition, which recognizes farms demonstrating exceptional commitment to conservation and sustainable agricultural practices.

Participating farms are nominated by local conservation districts and advance through county, district, area, and state-level evaluations. Judging criteria include resource management, conservation planning, implementation of best management practices, landowner cooperation, and community involvement.

The tour highlighted Chad Lamp’s Farm in Chester, WV, where the operation centers on hay production and field corn. His farm operation produces field corn that is grown for local feed and agricultural use, contributing to both on-farm sustainability and local agricultural supply. The corn is carefully managed through the growing season to support yield efficiency and soil health. The operation also includes on-farm processing and bagging of products for direct local sale, supported by strong family involvement throughout all aspects of production.
