The work performed in the Salcha-Delta SWCD is supervised by a board of 5 supervisors elected by their fellow cooperators. Seats are normally held by each supervisor for a 3 year term and then are up for election again.

| Rex Wrigley
Rex has been involved in farming since it was done by horses and has farmed for about 70 years. He moved to Alaska in 1983 where they did custom haying for several years and raised broccoli, potatoes, barley, oats, hay, and hogs.
He has been on the board of the local Salcha-Delta SWCD since 1996, presently serving as Chair.
The thing he enjoys the most about farming in Alaska is not having to irrigate the crops.
Scott Schultz
Scott moved from Iowa to Delta in 1982. At that time, there was nothing but a dozer trail into their farm so they cleared their land and began farming. Scott has been on the Board since 1984, where he currently serves as Vice-chair. He raises barley, oats, straw, grass seed, and hay with his family. Scott also served as Chair on the Farm Service Agency’s County Committee for several terms.
Phil Kaspari
Phil has been the Cooperative Extension Agent in Delta since 1997. He has raised brome and timothy hay in the Sawmill Creek area since 1984. He is active in the Catholic Church and enjoys riding horses and motorcycles. Phil believes the SWCD has an important role to play in promoting water and soil stewardship.

You
We are looking for an interested cooperator to fill the seat left vacant by Randy Peterson's resignation. Randy felt he had too many things going on to properly represent the cooperators in the District. We wish him well with his many projects and will miss his quick wit and southern drawl.
If you are interested in becoming a supervisor, please contact the office at 895-6279. The pay stinks, but the company is great.
Shelly Tappen
Shelly moved to Delta in 2003 with her family where they raise hay and barley. She has been involved in scouting for many years and is the Shooting Sports Director for Lost Lake Boy Scout Camp. Shelly has been a supervisor since 2006. They enjoy outdoor activities like motor cycle riding, hiking, and camping.
