ASA presented Gail Fuller from Emporia, Kan. with the 2013 National Conservation Legacy Award on March 1 at the ASA Awards Banquet during Commodity Classic in Kissimmee, Fla.
Fuller approaches conservation on his Kansas farm with a heavy emphasis on soil health, including continuous no-till, utilization of cover crops and maximization of microbes. In addition, Fuller says he is always looking for ways to reduce inputs. Fuller has been working to rebuild the quail population and has added a livestock component to his farm.
