      <image:caption>The annual National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) Poster Contest provides students from kindergarten through 12th grade the chance to have their art displayed as part of a national conservation outreach initiative.

      <image:title>Piedmont Supervisors - Jake McCoy, Baldwin County</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jake is the owner of McCoy Cattle Company in Baldwin County managing around 50 head of Black Angus beef cattle. This 130-acre farm is a new venture that was molded from the guidance of his father-in-law. Jake worked alongside his father-in-law to clear the land filled with scrub oaks and turn it into a working farm. The farm is made up of 60% pasture and 40% forestry.  Jake has learned many conservation practices in molding the farm. He implemented rotational grazing, heavy use areas, water troughs, silva-pasture, and exclusion fencing for the cattle. The pine stand is managed with controlled burns and supports the local wildlife through wildlife management. The pastures are terraced to control erosion. The farm also benefits from the Environment Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) through the Natural Resources Management Service (NRCS). Jake was recognized by the Piedmont SWCD as the 2023 Conservationist of the Year for Baldwin County. He has a unique perspective on conservation and is interested in ag business in his community. With his background in construction, and being a Blue Card holder, he sees the effects of construction and wants to preserve our natural resources and continue supporting conservation efforts.   Jake is a member of the Georgia Cattlemen’s Association, the Georgia Southern Industry Advisory Board for Construction Management. He and his family attend Northridge Christian Church in Milledgeville. With a heart for learning more about conservation, Jake is excited to be a part of the Piedmont SWCD and looks forward to sharing his knowledge with the community.</image:caption>

This 450 acre farm in Taliaferro County is just an extension of the farming experience he has. Tucker also works with his father-n-law on this 5th generation farm raising chickens for poultry.

He plants native grass for food sources and provides habitats for birds and other wildlife. Tucker participates in controlled and prescribed burns for the timber acreage on the farm which enhances the wildlife habits. Tucker will be adding a selection of fruit trees as additional habitat for wildlife and as a food source and shade for the animals on the farm. This will be a nice addition to the pecan tree stand the wildlife enjoys. The entire farm has been placed in the Conservation Use Valuation Assessment Program (CUVA) which is a 10 year agreement. Tucker is passionate about caring for the land and teaching agriculture and land conservation to his family.
