Meet Our Board
Holmes Soil & Water Conservation Distict is fortunate to have an outstanding board of county supervisors. They are always interested in hearing from others in the Holmes County area about their conservation needs and concerns.

He worked with many farmers in eastern Ohio helping to develop and install manure storage and milk house/parlor-waste systems.

Jason shares a family operation farming 350 acres and tending a cow/calf beef herd in Ripley Township. Nearly all of the acres are managed as no-till with extensive use of cover crops. Off the farm, Jason works in equipment sales for Ohio Ag Equipment. One of the things that attracted him to the role of supervisor is keeping the farm community involved and informed.
Jason grew up surrounded by the farming industry as part of a family that began a tree nursery when he was young. Through his work toward the rank of Eagle Scout (2012) he earned an even greater appreciation for conservation and resource management. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from OSU (Surveying minor), he returned to the area accepting a position at Tekton Engineering, LLC in Berlin.

Christie and her husband Tim own and operate Hi Hills Farms in southwestern Holmes County, where they milk 650-700 Holstein cows. She has been actively involved in dairy farming for 28 years, 24 of those in Holmes County. They double crop 400 acres of rye and corn as well as 450 acres of hay and pasture ground. Their hills can be a challenge to farm, so they practice no-till for erosion control as well as cover crops. and two of their children are interested in continuing it so she feels it's important to protect it for the next generation. She has also served on the Holmes County Farm Bureau board for 6 years, 2 of those years as President.
