Welcome Vince Pitstick! Vince is the new NRCS District Conservationist located in the Richmond USDA Service Center. Please read a few words from Vince:
“I was born and raised in Jasper Indiana, and grew up assisting farmers and landowners with in a few miles of my parents house. Growing up around farming and having a strong work ethic was very influential but ultimately conservation was my passion. My father was a District Conservationist in Dubois County and worked for the agency for 30 years. I enjoyed growing up learning about the land and agriculture. I pursued my dream of working with the land and how we can improve the quality of the land through good stewardship. Above conservation is my family, My wife Stephanie and three wonderful children Emmett, Everett, and Violet. We are looking forward to the challenges and rewards this next chapter of our lives may provide.”
