The Wild Rice Soil Conservation District held its annual Achievement Award Winner Banquet on February 5th at the Coteau des Prairies Lodge. Every year the district honors a farm that maintains a high conservation ethic and this year’s winners are no exception. The Gulleson Farm & Ranch has worked hand-in-hand with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Soil Conservation District to meet the resource needs of their operation. Cover crops, cross fence, tree plantings, and an animal waste facility are just a few of the practices they have implemented to decrease soil erosion while increasing water quality and soil health across their farm. Chairman of the Board Joe Breker presented the Gulleson’s with a plaque honoring them as this year’s winner, an aerial photograph of their operation, and 2 Soil Conservation District jackets. The Gulleson’s were also honored at the Association of Soil Conservation District’s annual meeting in Bismarck in November.
The Gulleson family were our guests of honor for the evening as our Achievement Award Winners
