Welcome Will Stover!

MEET OUR NEW EXTENSION INTERN!

Hello everyone! My name is Will Stover, and I am a summer intern at the Nelson County Extension Office. This fall I will be a senior at NDSU majoring in Ag Education with minors in Crop and W**d Science, Animal Science, Ag Business, and Extension Education. I am from Larimore, ND where I grew up on a 5th generation family farm. After graduation next spring, I plan to pursue a career in Extension.

Outside of work, I am involved in FarmHouse Fraternity and NDSU Ag Education Society. I was a 4-H member in Grand Forks County for 10 years and now serve as one of the ND 4-H Ambassadors. The past few years I have also helped coach 4-H land and crop judging teams.

This summer I look forward to learning about Nelson County and understanding the role Extension can play in our communities. I am excited to work with local producers, youth, and community members. I plan to run my own program this summer on parliamentary procedure, as well as help with several ongoing programs including Junior Crop Scout School and Extension Youth Conference. If you see me at any county events this summer, feel free to stop and introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting you.
