The resolution recognizes Cottage Hill Farm, a family-owned Hereford cattle farm located in Grant County, West Virginia, as the state's outstanding farm for 2024. The farm, managed by W.C. Taylor, spans 1,000 acres and incorporates a purebred Hereford cow/calf operation alongside six broiler houses. The resolution highlights the numerous conservation practices implemented by Taylor, such as no-till planting, cover crops, and rotational grazing, which have contributed to improved water quality and extended grazing seasons. Taylor's proactive approach to conservation has earned him recognition, including service on the Governor's Water Quality Committee and various awards for environmental excellence.

In addition to their farming practices, the Taylor family is actively involved in their community, participating in farm-related boards, 4-H leadership, and collaborating with West Virginia University Extension on research projects. Their contributions have played a significant role in developing voluntary programs aimed at protecting the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk to send a copy to the Taylor family, acknowledging their dedication to sustainable farming and community engagement.
