"I changed my focus from working on the cattle to working on the land. We've seen where that has really benefited the soil and benefited the cattle," says Ray Effling.
In a six-minute video release, visit with the Effling family of Britton to hear more about their philosophy on the land.
The Effling family began focusing on the land and have seen the benefits to their soil and livestock firsthand. The South Dakota Grassland Coalition (SDGC) partnered with other organizations to enhance the Grassland Planner with a release of a short video story each month during 2022 promoting healthy soils, grasslands, and ecosystems.
2022 Grassland Stewardship Communications Project Partners are SDGC, Audubon Dakota, Ducks Unlimited, Partners for Fish and Wildlife, South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks, The Nature Conservancy, Pheasants Forever, South Dakota Soil Health Coalition, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and South Dakota State University.
