The Cotter-Vardeman
Conservation Story:

Lacy Cotter-Vardeman is a fifth-generation rancher and farmer with a passion for conservation. She’s seen first-hand the challenges of farming in West Texas and has found innovative solutions to problems such as a depleting water supply and spent soil. Thanks to her conservation efforts, her soil has been brought back to life and springs well up from the ground.
