Don and Peggy (Leckler) Brown Rangeland Scholarship

Don and Peggy (Leckler) Brown have been lifelong supporters of Northeastern Junior College. They were both student body officers and were Charter Members of the NJC Alumni Association. Peggy was a valued member of the NJC Foundation Board and Don was the Commissioner of Agriculture for the State of Colorado. Don and Peggy are ranchers in Yuma, Colorado. They strongly believe in the importance of rangeland stewardship and management, western ranching heritage, and the economic and ecological contributions of the beef industry. The Browns wish to support the development of the next generation of professionals involved in grazing management, conservation, rangeland improvement, and agriculture production through this scholarship.
