One of the three regional winners will also receive the National Conservation Legacy Award, to be announced on March 1, 2013, at the annual ASA Awards Banquet during Commodity Classic in Kissimmee, Fla. All three regional winners will be recognized at the ASA Awards Banquet prior to announcing the national winner.
