“Dan has done a lot and in combination with his grazing management, has really made this ranch great for Sage Grouse habitat… he's really been able to pull it all together and it's a testament to a strong work ethic and strong land ethic.”

 – Mitch Faulkner, Rangeland Management Specialist, NRCS

In our third video release of 2019, we visit Dan and Cindi Conner's ranch in Belle Fourche, South Dakota. The Conner's have an incredible sage grouse habit and have taken active steps to protect their population. Through intentional, rotational grazing they strive to improve the quality of their grasslands for livestock and wildlife. The SD Grassland Coalition partnered with the organizations listed below to enhance the grassland planner with a release of a short video story each month during 2019 promoting healthy soils, grasslands, and ecosystems. Please enjoy the Our Amazing Grasslands feature story for March 2019 featuring the Conner Family.
