McKenzie County Soil Conservation District

Welcome back to another round of "Meet us Monday!"

We will start off with the District Conservationist in the office, Nikki Darrington. Nikki has worked in Watford City for 15 years, and has worked for NRCS for 20 years all together. Nikki enjoys working with our producers, talking about soil health, our outreach and education events, and doing team building activities. Nikki is married to Patrick and they have three children: Gracyn, Gavyn, and Graham. They enjoy camping, basketball and football, 4-H, their Church family, the Iowa Hawkeyes and of course, the Minnesota Vikings.

Nikki loves when producers stop by and visit and encourages you to do so!

While we prefer to visit with you out in the field, we know you need to all in to reach us and FSA often over the phone!

We have had a lot of messages over the last week, stating our phones are not working. The 842-6047 number is NOT working. We know a lot of you have this in your phone and have for years! But it no longer works. You can reach us at 701-842-3628 extension 3. If this still does not work, please let us know and we will address this issue.
