NRCS Chief Bruce Knight presented the 2006 Excellence in Conservation Award
this week to Paul Daigle of Marathon County during Wisconsin’s 2006 Year of
the Soil event at the State Capitol. NRCS honored Daigle of Wausau for his
extensive work in managed grazing. Daigle, a conservation specialist for the
Marathon County Conservation, Planning and Zoning Department, helps farmers in
Lincoln and Marathon counties plan, design and carry out conservation
practices on their farms. Nearly 200 farmers now practice managed grazing in
the two counties compared with six farmers in 1993. NRCS began the Excellence
in Conservation Award five years ago to recognize the voluntary contributions
of non-governmental individuals, groups and tribes toward conserving natural
resources on private land.
