Clifford Holloway was one of the first, if not the first, to install contour strips to farmland in this area. The Holloway family was also one of the first farmers to use no-till. The Holloway family has and continues to, include new technologies and farming practices. Clifford Holloway was the last farmer to drive cattle across the old Conowingo bridge en route to the Lancaster Stockyards to market. Then, he was the first to drive cattle across the Conowingo Dam to market. At one point he had teams of horses, oxen, and a brand new Farmall M Tractor all working in the fields simultaneously. Through all generations, The Holloway Families have been community minded and served Harford County and Maryland Agriculture in various capacities and on multiple boards in leadership positions (Maryland Farm Bureau, Soil Conservation, Farm Service Agency, Harford Agriculture Preservation, Maryland State Fair, Maryland 4-H Foundation).

Henry and Richard Holloway were inducted into the Maryland Dept. of Agriculture Hall of Fame.
