Farmers are invited to share their stories about how conservation is a part of their everyday operation and could be recognized with a Conservation Legacy Award.
The American Soybean Association is currently accepting applications for the Conservation Legacy Award.
The award recognizes farm management practices of U.S. soybean farmers that are both environmentally friendly and profitable.
Reduced tillage, cover crops, or increasing energy efficiency and water quality are just a few of the conservation practices that help farmers produce sustainable U.S. soybeans.
All U.S. soybean farmers are eligible to win a Conservation Legacy Award. Entries are judged on soil management, water management, input management, conservation, environmental management, and sustainability.
One farmer each from the Midwest, the Upper Midwest, the Northeast, and the South will win an award and be recognized at the 2020 Commodity Classic in San Antonio.
At the classic, one farmer will be named the National Conservation Legacy Award recipient.
The award is sponsored by the ASA, BASF, Bayer, the United Soybean Board, and Valent USA.
