“Having a background in both conservation and agriculture, I hope to provide growers in the state with the knowledge and resources they need to help them get the best return on investment from each acre,” said Rasco, who was born and raised in east-central Missouri. “Being able to help farmers improve their bottom line while simultaneously putting wildlife habitat on the ground is my definition of a dream career.”
Rasco earned a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Management from the University of Missouri in 2016 before starting his career with the Missouri Department of Conservation. Most recently, he was employed in agronomy sales with a large ag retailer in Missouri before accepting his current position with Pheasants Forever. In his free time, Rasco is an avid hunter, fisherman and sports fan.
DNR seeks comments on environmental assessment worksheet for proposed Roseau Lake rehabilitation and Sprague Creek wetland restoration
December 14, 2020
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is accepting public comments through Wednesday, Jan. 13, on an environmental assessment worksheet for the proposed Roseau Lake rehabilitation and Sprague Creek wetland restoration. The proposed project area is located near the city of Roseau in Roseau County.
The proposed project would install water control structures, embankments and a drainage way to allow for water level management in the historic Roseau footprint. Improved water level management would reduce peak water flows and adjust timing of existing water storage outflows, thereby reducing flood damage and improving wildlife habitat. Restoration of hydrology at Sprague Creek would mitigate wetland impacts from the Roseau Lake project.
