Visionary Town Leaders, Preservation

The late Carl Otte and Greg Curtis plus other visionary leaders in Durham worked tirelessly to preserve productive land for the future and for agricultural purposes. (This was in the 1960s, 1970s.) This scene of meadow and Holsteins grazing is along the Wallingford Road, part of the Greenbacker Farm, a working dairy.

Brookfield Farm offers sweeping vistas of land and sky. And the scent of real cow manure from the main barn spread back on fields.
