A family farm from Emerald has been given an award for environmental excellence, a mark of recognition for its hard work throughout the 2023 season.

The McKennas have a longstanding focus on youth education and agricultural awareness, hosting information sessions and field trips throughout the school year.“Farming is like no other business. It’s a family business no matter what way you cut it,” Andrea said. “I’d love to make it our own little experiment farm where we can really push the limits on trying some of these things and make it as sustainable as we possibly can, to showcase what can be done to the rest of the industry.”

Gordie has been one of the operating minds behind Dialed in Precision Ag Services since 2016. The service specializes in improving the usage of soil additives by surveying the field and providing X-ray analyses of agricultural land, allowing farmers to be site-specific with fertilizer and seeds.
