Soil Survey Restructuring, new Indiana State Soil ScientistThe NRCS Soil Survey Regional Offices (also known as Major Land Resource Area (MLRA) offices or MOoffices) are being restructured. These regional offices formerly fell under the NRCS State Offices,reporting to State Conservationists where they were located. Now the Soil Survey Regional Offices willfall under the national Soil Science and Resource Assessment Division. Because Indiana’s MO Leader,Travis Neely, also served as the Indiana NRCS State Soil Scientist, Indiana NRCS has hired a State SoilScientist on the State Conservationist’s staff. Please congratulate Gary Struben, currently serving as theState Soil Scientist in Illinois, to this position beginning October 7.Soil Health UpdateIndiana NRCS and the Indiana Conservation Partnership are still hard at work promoting Soil Health.
