One of the first farmers to join the Allen County Soil Conservation District was Harold Swanson, Elsmore, who received a Kansas State Bankers award this year for his achievements. The award was won jointly by him and his son, J. Edward Swanson, who own adjoining farms and operate a total of 720 acres. Both are dedicated SCS converts.
