Anita Barnett, whose farm fields dot the landscape northeast of Humboldt, will be honored Wednesday evening with a soil and water conservation award, given annually by Allen County banks.
Anita, for all she has done to prevent soil erosion and preserve the moisture profile in her fields, is the lone recipient this year. The award will be the second with a Barnett label; she and husband, Harold, who died in 2011, similarly were recognized in 1978.
The award event will be at the Dr. John Silas Bass Community Center, 505 N. Buckeye.
