Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor — Bill Cole

Very few people know what the Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor does. How would you explain to voters what you do? The Soil and Water District is an organization that is non-regulatory. We’ve been chartered by the state to, if you will, help direct federal and state grant money towards agriculture and conservation projects. A lot of what the board of supervisors does is to review projects, approve them, sign off on them.
