Whereas, Mr. Allen was a leader in the farming community in Aiken County and was known for being in the forefront of agricultural developments and for incorporating and promoting the use of sound environmental practices in farming; and
Whereas, in recognition of his commitment to progressive and environmentally responsible farming, he was named the 1992 South Carolina Land Resources Commission Clean Water Farming Award; and
Whereas, Mr. Steed not only operated an efficient, successful farming operation, but also gave of his time and talents in service to the community; and

Whereas, he was the devoted husband of Karen Moss Steed, the loving father of Amy Stallings, Beth Johnson, and Carey McKinney, and the proud and doting grandfather of two grandchildren; he was also a faithful member of Jackson Bible Church; and
