Tom Watson, State Conservationist

Montana NRCS, led by our State Conservationist and our state leadership team, serves diverse agricultural needs through four area offices, 53 field offices plus 7 tribal conservationists, a Plant Materials Center, and a Snow Survey and Water Supply Program. We provide voluntary, cost-effective program and technical assistance to landowners to conserve, protect and improve soil, water, air, plants and animals. In doing so, we enable farmers and landowners to better steward and manage their property and remain economically viable.
