During a contract signing ceremony today at brothers Jeff , Steve, Mike, and Brad Hemmer's farm, Pheasants Forever (PF), USDA, South Dakota Game Fish & Parks Department and elected officials celebrated the immediate success of a new Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) practice; State Acres For wildlife Enhancement (SAFE). As part of the event, PF requested an additional 500,000 acres nationwide for the program based on strong interest and demand for SAFE in multiple states.
"There is no question the agricultural climate has been changing before our eyes these last twelve months. It's important for conservation to be a major part of the mix going forward. This SAFE practice is clearly the new wave of conservation for America’s farmer, rancher, and hunter," explained Dave Nomsen, PF's Vice President of Government Affairs.
