Tim Nerbas, our CA at Lloydminster, heads up the Committee that accepts nominations for the Conservation Producer award the SSCA presents at its Annual Conference. The deadline for accepting nominations for the 2002 Conference is January 20. If you know someone who you would like to see added to this list of deserving individuals and families, then nominate him or her or them! The nomination form is simple and easy to complete. It might take a neighbour or two to help you remember all the great conservation-type activities in which your nominee was involved. Once that list is completed and you've listed how those activities have impacted the nominee's farm and community, you're ready to begin filling out the nomination form. To obtain a nomination form, contact any SSCA staff member and we'll get as many out to you as you want. Don't let another year go by before your friend or neighbour is nominated for recognition of his or her hard work!
The Royal Bank, in co-operation with the Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association, annually recognizes achievements in the development of innovative approaches to soil conservation. Producers or farm families who have made an outstanding contribution toward promoting production systems that reduce soil degradation yet maintain economic viability are eligible for nomination.

This award is presented to individuals who have made an outstanding contribution toward soil conservation through the development of innovative approaches to soil conservation. This award is presented at the discretion of the SSCA Board. While there are no formal nomination forms, you can contact your Regional Director and suggest names of individuals you think are worthy. The Director will then take the names to the Board for consideration.
