Upper North Platte Land and Water Conservation Tour...

On June 12, over 100 people converged in the North Platte Valley for a full day of touring and learning about land and water conservation. Joe Glode, Bob Budd and Rick Knight started off the day with inspiring remarks. They talked about community collaboration, surmounting challenges and finding opportunities in agriculture and conservation. We revisited the many benefits and services provided by ag lands, and discussed how agricultural producers often help create the culture and fabric of our communities by being civic leaders who contribute to the local and state economy.
