The Conservation Awards Program will again be held in Barton County and nominees are being sought. Alicia Boor, Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Agent representing Barton County, has been asked to serve as chairman of a committee to select candidates for awards.

“This program is being sponsored by the Kansas Bankers Association (KBA),” Boor said. “This year the KBA, K-State Research and Extension, and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism are excited to announce six award categories including Energy Conservation, Water Quality, Water Conservation, Soil Conservation, Windbreaks, and Wildlife Habitat.”

The purpose of this program is to stimulate a greater interest in the conservation of the agricultural and natural resources of Kansas by giving recognition to those farmers and landowners who have made outstanding progress in practicing conservation on their farms. Last year, 197 awards were presented to Kansas producers and landowners for their efforts.

Nominations can be made by any person in the county. They should be sent to the Alicia Boor, Cottonwood District at 620-793-1910 or aboor@ksu.edu by October 22. Visit the following K-State Research and Extension website for more information: http://www.agronomy.k-state.edu/extension.
