The 2023 Rooks County Windbreak Award winners are Alan Dix and Travis Jones of Stockton. In 1998, Alan and Travis started planting trees for the Rooks County Conservation District. Their first project was a CRP Enhancement planting on Andreson property. Those first years were dedicated to CRP Enhancement contracts, and they could plant 15,000+ trees in those spring months. Later on, most of the plantings were for windbreaks, so fewer trees were planted.
