Whereas, Mr. Allen was a leader in the farming community in Aiken County and was known for being in the forefront of agricultural developments and for incorporating and promoting the use of sound environmental practices in farming; and
Whereas, in recognition of his commitment to progressive and environmentally responsible farming, he was named the 1992 South Carolina Land Resources Commission Clean Water Farming Award; and
