Prairie Paradise Farms of Fort Pierre has been named as the winner of this year’s South Dakota Leopold Conservation Award.
The farm is operated by Levi and Crystal Neuharth. Levi says they incorporate environmentally friendly practices on their operation to ensure they have good soil health.
Levi is the current Chairman of the South Dakota Soil Health Coalition and believes in the importance of keeping the soil healthy, which is why they use no till practices, rotational grazing and plant cover crops.
He advises his fellow producers to make sure they plan for future generations.
Levi credits his success in protecting the environment to his dad, David who started Prairie Paradise Farms and got him started in the business.
The Leopold Conservation Award is co-sponsored by the Sand County Foundation, the South Dakota Grasslands Coalition and the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association. It will be presented to the Neuharth family December 1 in Rapid City at the annual Cattlemen’s Association Convention and Trade Show.
