D. Miller has grown tobacco since 1970 and is looking to diversify his income in the next 3 years by selling boxwoods. Donald used his grant to purchase boxwoods seedlings ready for the field in addition to fertilizer.

Income expected in 2006.

Because of this grant "I will transition two acres of tobacco into boxwood production."
