Matt Powe - Supervisory District Conservationist

"I grew up on a small farm in Greenwood county near Eureka.  After graduating from K-State with a degree in Agronomy, I worked for a crop consulting company in and around Garden City for 7 years.  This job allowed me to learn a lot about progressive agriculture.  As a consultant I assisted producers with many facets of their operations including:  calibrating planters and sprayers, irrigation scheduling, recommendations of pesticides, and nutrient management.  I began my career with the NRCS in the fall of 2002 as a Soil Conservationist in Liberal, KS.  After working there for 1.5 years, i transferred to the field office in South Hutchinson, where I had the same title.  I was chosen for the District Conservationist position in Iola in Nov. of '05.  My wife Gina and I live in Iola and have three children, Audrey, Jarrod, and Evan.  I enjoy hunting and spending time with my family in my spare time."
