Tell us the story of conservation on your farm by submitting an application to the 14th Annual Conservation Legacy Awards Program and you could be one of the next regional winners.
The Conservation Legacy Awards Program recognizes U.S. soybean farmers who distinguish themselves through outstanding environmental and conservation practices while farming profitably. Click here to watch videos featuring recent winners and the conservation practices on their farms.
Entries will be judged in five areas: soil management, water management, input management, farmstead protection, and conservation and environmental management.
All U.S. soybean farmers are eligible to submit an application for the Conservation Legacy Awards. Three regional winners will receive a trip for two to the 2015 Commodity Classic in Phoenix, Arizona. In addition to the trip, the regional winners will be featured in video stories and a special insert in Corn & Soybean Digest. A National Conservation Legacy Award winner will be chosen from the three regional winners.
Presented by the American Soybean Association (ASA), the Conservation Legacy Awards Program is sponsored by BASF, Monsanto, the United Soybean Board/soybean checkoff and Corn & Soybean Digest.
Applications are due by Aug. 4, 2014 and must be submitted online. Access a brochure and the online application by clicking here.
