Gene Haarberg saluted by state’s association of resources districts

    Two men affiliated with the Upper Republican NRD are being honored by the Nebraska Association of Natural Resources Districts (NARD).        Earning one of the organization’s top awards, posthumously, is Eugene “Gene” Haarberg, who was chosen a 2020 Hall of Fame inductee.
    Haarberg, who died in 2014, was among the first Upper Republican NRD board members when it organized in 1972, and becomes one of three new inductees into the NARD’s Hall of Fame this year.
    Haarberg’s selection represents current or former NRD board members. Other Hall of Fame inductees this year come from employees and supporters.
    Besides the Hall of Fame class, the NARD also is honoring six others with awards, one of which is going to Terry Martin as Director of the Year.
    Haarberg, who farmed in Imperial and Chase County, was nominated by the Upper Republican NRD. He was lauded during his lifetime for his service on the Upper Republican NRD board of directors from the district’s inception in 1972 until 2000.
