the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association, South Dakota Grassland Coalition and Sand County Foundation annually bestow the Leopold Conservation Award on a farm or ranch family that demonstrates outstanding conservation leadership. The award is named for renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold.
• This year's Leopold Conservation Award recipients are Lyle and Garnet Perman and their son Luke and his wife Naomi. The Permans manage 7,500 acres, most of it grassland, near Lowry. The management practices implemented on their Rock Hills Ranch demonstrate that active conservation efforts are not only good for the land, they are good for business.
• For information on the Rock Hills Ranch and the many conservation practices farmers and ranchers use, visit www.leopoldconservationaward.org .
