Bill > LR93

This resolution congratulates Keith Berns, a farmer and agricultural educator from Bladen, Nebraska, for receiving the Nebraska Natural Resources Districts Outstanding Soil Conservation Award. The resolution highlights Berns' significant contributions to sustainable agriculture, including his over 25 years of no-till farming experience, co-ownership of Green Cover Seed (a leading cover crop seed provider), and extensive research on cover crop species. Berns has maintained a 1,500-acre farm using continuous no-till practices and developed the SmartMix Calculator, an online tool that helps farmers select cover crops. With a master's degree in Agricultural Education and having served as chairman of the Nebraska Healthy Soil Task Force, Berns has demonstrated a commitment to improving soil health, advancing agricultural practices, and educating others about sustainable farming techniques. The resolution formally recognizes his achievements and directs that a copy of the resolution be sent to Berns.
