Conservation Practices Award LeRoy and Sasha Ness Leroy and Sasha have been very active producers when it comes to installing conservation practices over the past 5 years. Not only have the built a waste storage facility but they have installed several miles of cross fences and piplines and a number of watering facilities to implement an intensive rotational grazing system on their place. They also have seeded several acres of cropland back to native grasses and inter-seeded legumes into existing grass. Several acres of shelterbelts for livestock protection have been established too. Leroy and Sasha do a great job of maintaining these practies and we are very pleased to present tem the Conservation Practices Award for 2009.
