Kicking Off 80th Anniversary with Mark Craven

For this year’s Better Ground Showcase, we’re celebrating 80 years of conservation with the partners and leaders who have helped make it happen.

We're starting off our 80th year anniversary celebration with "Mark Madness!" Mark Craven, who you may recognize from Craven Farm Inc., has served over 20 years on our Board of Directors. His commitment to our local community of farmers is truly inspiring, and we're honored to give him the Lifetime Achievement award. Mark, thank you for the many years of fun and dedication that you've brought to the table!

Here’s a photo of Mark meeting President Gerald R. Ford during the FFA Leadership Conference in Washington D.C. At the time, Mark was the Washington state president of FFA (Future Farmers of America). July 1976.

Below, you can watch our appreciation video for him.
