CLYDE A. B. MYERS
Raised on a dairy, livestock, and crop farm in northern York County, Clyde received his BS in Animal Husbandry from Delaware Valley College and MEd in Agricultural Education from Penn State University. He was an agriculture instructor before serving as a Penn State Extension Educator in Berks County for 30 years. Clyde has been involved with farmland preservation efforts for over 25 years, including the farmland preservation committee that was the beginning of this Board; development and adoption of the Berks County model agriculture preservation-zoning ordinance; and the adoption of the agriculture zoning incentive program. He has helped conduct many meetings in Berks and surrounding counties on farmland and agriculture industry preservation and agriculture zoning. Clyde hopes his experience will benefit the Board's efforts to preserve the land base that is required for a future agriculture industry.
