Attn: Donna Baker, Clerk to the Board
208 S. Cameron Street
Hillsborough, NC 27278
Dear Board of County Commissioners:
The Agricultural Preservation Board (APB) has been actively recruiting farmers
enrolled in our Voluntary Agricultural District program to serve on the APB.
Based on this outreach, we are please to recommend Kim Woods as the
representative for the Caldwell region. Kim lives on the family farm and works as
the Livestock Cooperative Extension agent for Person County.
The APB also recommends that Roland Walters and Allan Green be reappointed
to the APB. They attend meetings regularly and have considerable knowledge
and diverse expertise that is valuable to the goals and mission of the Agricultural
Preservation Board.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.
Sincerely,
Agricultural Preservation Board
