Iowa farmer receives conservation award

Jefferson, Iowa soybean farmer David Ausberger is the national winner of the American Soybean Association’s Conservation Legacy Award.  Ausberger received that award last week during ASA’s annual awards banquet in San Antonio.

The award recognizes Ausberger’s use of no-till and cover crops.  It also cites his extensive composting program that makes use of poultry litter from a nearby operation, and waste wood chips from the City of Jefferson.
