Nominations Requested For Bankers Award

---

The Conservation Awards Program, better known as the Bankers Award, will again be held in Barber County in 2010. This program is being sponsored by the Kansas Bankers Association (KBA).

This year the KBA, K-State Research and Extension, and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks are proud to announce six award categories including Energy Conservation, Water Quality, Water Conservation, Soil Conservation, Windbreaks, and Wildlife Habitat.

The purpose of this program is to stimulate a greater interest in the conservation of the agricultural and natural resources of Kansas by giving recognition to those farmers and landowners who have made outstanding progress in practicing conservation on their farms. Two hundred and seventy-nine Kansas producers and landowners were recognized for their efforts in 2009.

Nominations can be made by any person in the county. They should be sent to the Barber County Extension Office or the Barber County Conservation District by October 1, 2010.
