A Conservation Winner Joining Conservation Easements and Sustainable Private Forestry

Guy Troy says he's stopped measuring his life in years-he thinks measuring it in scores is much more dignified. And now that he's reached four score, you might think he would slow down a little bit in his management of his family farm, But that just wouldn't be the way he does things. Troy is compact and fit, and it's easy to imagine him as the Olympic athlete he once was, having competed in the modern pentathlon in Helsinki in 1952, Five decades later, dressed in his Dickies overalls and straw hat,Troy continues to generate revenue from the family farm in Liberty, North Carolina. He still plants and harvests his 30 acres of corn and soybeans with his 80-horse John Deere And he has been so engrossed with the tree farming side of the operation thatfor the last 25 years he has been the southern representative for Farmi logging winches. "With this winch, you can skip the middle man, do the work yourself, and sell some timber. This is a tremendous piece of equipment. They work!" he says, sliding easily into sales mode.
