The NRCS Excellence in Conservation Award is the highest award the agency gives to honor those outside the federal government for their work in conservation, according to a news release.

The South Dakota Grassland Coalition has taken on numerous projects to further accelerate technical assistance and information and educational programs. It has organized or sponsored tours and workshops such as livestock handling seminars; ranch tours focusing on grassland and rangeland management practices; the South Dakota Grazing School; and Rangeland Days, a two-day range management event for junior and senior high school students.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
