Expand all | Collapse all

Beth Pugh Farrell developed a passion for agriculture on her grandparents' dairy and burley tobacco farms in Alleghany County, NC. She saw the importance of the voluntary cost-share programs supported by the local Soil & Water Conservation District and participated in numerous educational opportunities sponsored by the District as a student. She attended NC State where she received a BS in animal science and a minor in poultry science. A recognized agricultural leader, she has devoted her career to providing educational opportunities to youth and enhancing NC agriculture and agribusiness. A small farmer herself, she understands the importance of these programs. She has seen the impacts of bad policy versus sound policy, and will use her expertise to make the Board stronger.
  • Preserve Farmland - Beth has a deep understanding of the importance of ensuring that the over 77,000 acres (an acre is roughly the size of a football field) of farmland in Wake County stay in operation and productive.  She sincerely values farms of all sizes and believes all should have the chance to remain in operation and be economically viable.
  • Collaborate with Stakeholders - Beth understands that when people engage in meaningful conversations about issues, true collaboration occurs. Sound policies and decisions are not made in a vacuum or echo-chamber. To be our best, it takes working together. Beth is very experienced in this area.
  • Educate - Since announcing her candidacy, Beth has learned that many don't understand the role or work of local Soil & Water Conservation Districts.  She wants to change this and share with the citizens of Wake County about the importance of soil and water conservation efforts, educational outreach  and projects funded by the District across our county.  
Beth values sound policy for farmland preservation, conservation and agriculture.
