Opinion / Religion - January 30, 2012 For all local news, subscribe to The Gyp Hill Premiere Dear Editor, The Brook Ranch was deeply honored to receive the Kansas Bankers Association Soil Conservation Award on January 12th. There is no doubt that whatever success we have achieved has come from the support of the people in Barber County we have met in the past eight years. If we have met you, we have learned from you. We would especially like to pay tribute to mentors in this community, who, from the very beginning, encouraged us to do better. Harold Kline, Jarred Kneisel and many other talented professionals who have worked, or work, for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, have been with us every step of the way. Chris Berens, Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, has also provided critical assistance. We are grateful to have the support and cooperation of both agencies. Our deepest thanks also go to Allan Maze, whose skill as a grazier has begun to transform the ranch into a healthy, resilient landscape. Ted Alexander, Bob and Charlene Larson and Carol and Grant Rogers have offered thoughtful advice and generous encouragement. We dream about the many future possibilities for the Brook Ranch. Working with inspiring people, who have a commitment to stewardship of the soil and water, will mean that it’s possible to do what we don’t yet know how to do. Sincerely, "The Brook ladies" Anne Burket, Margaret Boyce, Susan Brook
