Kansas Farm Bureau Natural Resources 2008 award

John and Amy Bradley of Douglas County were recognized for their outstanding contributions to conservation and stewardship of the land when they were awarded the 2008 Kansas Farm Bureau Natural Resources Award. The Bradleys have a small registered Hereford herd just south of Lawrence. They have adopted several water quality protection practices. An in-ground, frost-free livestock waterer was installed below a pond dam to provide high quality water year-round; a hard surfaced bale feeding pad was installed for the winter feeding and calving area; and a solar powered, submersible water pump is used to provide a water source out of the creek and distribute to the cows across the pastures.
