Terrace Farms of Lexington was one of six farms across the U.S. to receive the Family Farm Environmental Excellence Award during the 2009 International Poultry Expo in Atlanta.
The U.S. Poultry & Egg Association sponsors the annual awards in recognition of exemplary environmental stewardship by family farmers engaged in poultry and egg production.
Terrace Farms is owned and operated by Jim and Linda Davis, the third generation on the farm. It dates back to 1910, when it began as a Guernsey dairy farm.
After the Great Depression of the 1930s, it was converted to a registered Hereford farm. Consisting of 114 acres, the name comes from the soil and water conservation practice used to prevent hillside water runoff, causing erosion.
In 2002, the Davises added two pullet houses to their cattle operations. In 2005, they added two more houses, bringing the capacity to 104,000 pullets per year. The pullets they raise go to broiler chicken breeder operations. Terrace Farms grows chickens for Pilgrim’s Pride Corp.
Litter from the poultry operations is managed with a nutrient utilization plan. It determines when and how much litter is applied to pasture and hay land. Using this method enhances conservation and saves money.
The wildlife management program of Terrace Farms is based on a soil and water conservation plan that includes fencing off streams and ponds from livestock and providing ground cover for wildlife.
