BILL NAU - CHAIRMAN

 

 

 

 Bill and his wife Kathy and families reside in Buffalo Township where they operate and raise beef cattle in a family operation.  Bill and his father Bob head up the family operation, along with the help of his children Brittani and Jordon. Bill is employed at ODOT and his conservation concerns are losing land to development and high prices for seeds and fertilizer.

ERIC VANFLEET - VICE CHAIRMAN 

Eric VanFleet resides in Noble Township with his wife Steffany and sons Branson & Nathan.  Eric is employed at Noble Local as the Ag Teacher. Eric commented “his main concern for conservation is that SWCD continues to educate the residents about the importance of conservation and resources available to them to help them in their conservation efforts.  Programs and resources are useless if a landowner doesn’t take advantage of them.  An informed and educated public can make better decisions about conservation”.  Having been involved in agriculture all of his life, he knows that it is of the utmost importance that we make sure that future generations of agriculturists have the natural resources available to them that are necessary to raise food for our ever-growing nation.

MARCIA MURPHY - MEMBER

Marcia and her husband Kevin live in Buffalo Township where they raise beef cattle and sheep.  They are the parents of three children, Emily, Anna, and Ian.  Marcia teaches 6th & 7th grade science at Shenandoah Elementary, is an advisor for the Mount Ephraim Mountaineer 4-H group, and is a member of the State Young Farmer Committee for the Ohio Farm Bureau.

CHRIS CLARK - FISCAL AGENT

Chris and his wife Suzanne reside in Olive Township along with their sons Waylon and Wyatt.  Chris is employed at Eastern Agriculture Research Station in Belle Valley.  Some conservation concerns that Chris expressed were:  water quality, pasture management to reduce erosion and fencing out woods and streams.  In Chris's free time he enjoys farming and spending time with his family.

TRAVIS SNYDER - SECREATARY

Travis resides in Olive Twp.  and is employed with the Caldwell School System as the Vocational Ag. Instructor.  He enjoys agricultural events, construction projects and hunting, fishing and motor sports when time allows.  Travis’s conservation concerns are the general public’s knowledge of why conservation practices are necessary and beneficial to all and how to implement those practices.  If Travis is elected as a supervisor he hopes to contribute his knowledge through the ag. science classes by organizing adult farmers classes and through any other means that he could provide.
