Text version of the announcement:

Hi. I’m Governor Brad Henry. More than 70 years ago, our state faced one of the greatest ecological disasters of our time -- the Dust Bowl. Working together, farmers and ranchers and local conservation districts and the state and federal government turned back the tide of dust and brought productivity back to the land. Please join me in recognizing the great work of this ongoing partnership to protect and conserve our natural resources.
