Meet the Commissioners

The District Commissioners are comprised of local farmers and landowners who are elected to their position. Every month, (usually the third Wednesday), the district meets to discuss various issues, including local cost share budgets, approving new CRP and conservation plans, district budgets and other cost share issues.

The commissioners work in close contact with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship-Department of Soil Conservation (IDALS-DSC) to disperse cost share funds for various practices.          

The District Commissioners are: Jerry Crew (Chairperson) , Rick Steuben, Al McCarty, Julie Christensen (Vice Chairperson), and Mike White (Treasurer). We are also fortunate enough to have three assistant commissioners who have been appointed. They are Donald Steffen, Joel Hartmann, and Kent Kilpatrick.

Commissioners meet at the USDA Service Center at 306 11th Street SW Plaza in Spencer on the third Wednesday of each month at 8:00 A.M. Meeting times are sometimes changed to accommodate commissioner schedules and seasons. Please call 712-262-3432 for the correct day and time of each meeting.
