River Friendly

Farmer Award

River Friendly Farmer

The River Friendly Farmer Program is a statewide initiative sponsored by key conservation and agricultural organizations. Since 1999, we’ve been honoring farmers who go above and beyond in their commitment to good production management practices that protect our waterways.

Our rivers, lakes, and streams are vital to our state’s health and prosperity. It’s time to shine a spotlight on the farmers who are doing their part to protect these precious resources. Please help us recognize their efforts by congratulating Jeff and Nanette Iceberg!
