Nebraska rancher wins national award

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP)--A Nebraska rancher has won a national award in recognition of his contributions to the industry and to land management practices.

Jack Maddux of Wauneta received the Golden Spur Award this year from the Ranching Heritage Association.

Nebraska Cattlemen President Todd Schroeder says Maddux deserves the award because he knows a great deal about the ranching and livestock business, and Maddux is willing to share that.

Schroeder says Maddux is a great ambassador for cattle producers.

Maddux is a fourth generation rancher who breeds cattle and finishes them in his feedlot. His operation was among the first to start using a rest-rotation grazing system, cross fencing and no-till corn production.
