We want to congratulate the Halbur family as our 2023 Conservationist of the year!
Gene and Linda Halbur, daughter Danielle, son in law, David, and grandkids Brantley, Sawyer, and Malachi all live by Jasper, MN. They operate a corn and soybean farm as well as a small cow/calf herd with some pasture. Over the years they have implemented conservation practices such as no-till, cover crops, grassed waterways, tree plantings, and manure management. Recently MN Ag Water Quality Certified, Eugene wants to credit the SWCD staff and their soil health assessment program for convincing him to make the transition to no-till. He has been quite pleased with his decision and has plans to work with his son-in-law, David, to keep these changes moving forward into the next farming generation.
