The 2003 Agricultural Environmental Management Award was presented to Chambers Valley Farm, one of the first in Washington County to incorporate AEM into its farm management.

With assistance from the Washington County Soil & Water Conservation District, state and federal cost-share funds have been utilized to implement conservation practices on their 600-cow dairy.
