Kliever Family’s Manitoba Farm Leads Biggest DUC Project
The Kliever family on a 1600 acre Elkhorn farm shifted from hay and fertilizer to grass and intensive grazing with 500 cattle. They restored 118 wetlands with 93 earthen plugs, the largest such effort in Manitoba, through Ducks Unlimited Canada. The project, influenced by holistic management, secures water, reduces erosion, and supports a sustainable cattle industry while protecting land for future generations.
