New NRCS Chief Named

A former Montana State Conservationist has been selected by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to serve as chief of USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. Dave White is a career conservationist with NRCS. In addition to Montana, White has worked in Missouri, South Carolina, and Washington, D.C.

In making the announcement, Secretary Vilsack said - Dave White's extensive experience working with the NRCS and at the local, state and national levels is exactly what we need during this time of economic uncertainty and renewal.

The NRCS has approximately 12-thousand employees and an annual budget in excess of three-billion dollars. NRCS is the nation's leading agency in conserving natural resources on private lands.
