2023 Cooperator of the Year Award

The Pickaway Soil and Water Conservation District would like to offer a huge congratulations to Richard Clifton and Family for being chosen as the Pickaway SWCD 2023 Cooperator of the Year!

Richard farms with his wife Judy, son Sam, and granddaughter Anna. They have been with our organization as a cooperator since 1979. Their operation consists of rotations of corn, soybeans, and wheat. Richard is in the Conservation Stewardship Program where he plants cover crops, as well as in the Conservation Reserve Program for waterways on the farm.


Our office has enjoyed working with the Clifton Family over the years, and we are excited to continue working with them to conserve our natural resources here in Pickaway County.

2023 Pickaway County Ag Days

Over 800 fourth grade students learned about livestock, crops, ag careers, soil & water conservation, pollinators, and farm equipment from 180 FFA students at this year's Ag Day on Thursday & Friday, September 28 & 29. 🚜🐷🌱🐝🌽
This was our first year splitting Ag Day into two days to have smaller numbers at the event each day in order to make Ag Day more engaging. Teays Valley & Westfall attended Ag Day on Thursday; Circleville, Logan Elm, New Hope, Crossroads, and a home school group attended on Friday. This was a success!
Partnering to Host Ag Day:
  • Pickaway County Farm Bureau
  • Pickaway Soil & Water Conservation District
  • Circleville-PRCTC FFA
  • Logan Elm FFA
  • Teays Valley FFA
  • Westfall FFA

Congratulations to our 2023 Scholarship Recipients!
