Nuemann suggested that the district check with the insurance company to see if such damage was covered by their policies. If this was not successful, Althoff suggested that the district retain an attorney to see if recovery could be made either from the insurance company or from the fuel company that might be considered respon­ sible for the spillage. The cost of the attorney would be limited to no more than $250. ART HOLST GUEST SPEAKER AT ANNUAL MEET (Continued from page 1) member of the executive board of his local Boy Scout council'.'

IN* Plan Anniversary Celebration "Conserve your soil or the government will step in," admonished Don Luerssen in a call to farmers to practice preservation of their farmland. Speaking at the 66th annual meeting of the McHenry County Farm Bureau, Luer­ ssen urged McHenry county farmers to think about how erosion is carrying away tons of soil every year. "We are farming the land hard in this country. We must use conservation practices- stop cutting down fence rows and let the grass sit-pin in grass waterways and use minimum tillage " Referring to the 208 clear water program under congressional mandate, Luerssen said it is obvious that proper land conservation is a "must" and the only question is whether farmers will do what is necessary voluntarily or will ignore needed steps and find themselves saddled with mandatory controls enforced by some kind of government body. "Under the 208 program which calls for fishable and swimmable lakes and streams by 1983, we should support voluntary programs under control of people within the county, and not a program forced on them by Springfield or Washington. "If we don't do conservation farming, the government will force it on us. That will be" as bad as OSHA, or worse. They'll tell us how and when to plow, how much to fertilize, what crops we can plant, and where," he concluded as he painted a grim picture of what can happen in rural America. County Board Chairman Richard Klemm, who spoke to the 506 annual meeting guests on current county government priorities, agreed a county- wide management program locally controlled is superior to a program built around the Fox river or Kishwaukee river basins "It's important to have local input." he continued Klemm said two important documents are forthcoming which the County board must act on--a land use plan and the zoning ordinance. Klemm said it had been thirty-two years since the zoning ordinance was adopted and there had been many changes in environmental habits and land use. "Land use plan and a modem zoning ordinance .are vital tools to preserve and protect areas today," he said. Klemm said the county recently implemented a flagging ordinance, and he was delighted with the help provided by Farm Bureau. Immediately ahead is a transportation study as the Couty board tries to look ahead to the year 2,000 and visualize traffic problems both in the rural areas and in the more heavily urbanized communites. "It is important we work together for an ordinance to? preserve the heritage of McHenry county and have the residential, commercial, business and agricultural communities compatible," Klemm declared. "The land use plan is a living document. It shows which way development is going. The zoning ordinance is a tool used by the ZBA to provide guidelines on how to make best use of the land." Diane Easty, County board member from Cary, discussed the 45-acre minimum recommendations for Agricultural zoning. She said it is the general feeling of the County board to preserve prime agricultural land to the extent that residential development will be slowed The land use program is being carried out with the help of Soil Conservation service mapping. The 35-acre minimum amendment will not affect agricultural land used for agriculture and will not be retroactive In his annual report to the members, Luersse said: "We see the folly of trying to use a national farm program to control a product in the set- aside proposal for corn Each year the government seems to come up with a program and then change it. At the IAA annual meeting in December, I believe voting delegates will give serious consideration toward trying to impress Congress with the need to in­ flict less government on agriculture and let the market place decide prices. "I believe^our government should concentrate its effort toward improving export of farming products." Larry Harris, Farm Bureau manager for the past five years, reported membership increased by 500 members the past year to boost the total McHenry County Farm Bureau membership to 5,800 members. This ranks it sixth in the state among the ninty-seven county Farm Bureaus "the strong involvement of Farm Bureau in local activities plus its outstanding marketing development programs are among reasons people desire to belong," he asserted Harris cited the increased popularity of the farmer to consumer program where farmers are selling food products to consumers with an assured guarantee of quality Harris said the demand for beef and pork patties has become so extensive that the McHenry County Farm Bureau has established its own processing program of animals purchased from McHenry county farmers.
