Benton Co SWCD Visits Statehouse

“I was able to visit with both Matt Commons and Rick Niemeyer. Both were excellent visits and I discussed appreciation of their continued support of the CWI funds and shared highlights from the most recent work we’ve done at the Benton County SWCD. Both welcomed more visits in the future and offered incites on several other initiatives going on. Rick also told me to let him know he was welcome to directly connect with him anytime,” Leslie Fisher, Benton Co SWCD.
