Brief biography: Sellers represents the State Soil Conservation Committee on the Leopold Center Advisory Board. He returns to the board after a three-year absence during which he served as a coordinator for the Leopold Center’s Grassland Agriculture Program. The program was set up as a special project of the Center’s Ecology Initiative to provide one-on-one technical assistance for Iowa producers interested in grass-based agriculture and to better connect the Center with partners involved in this type of agriculture. An early adopter of rotational grazing and biomass production in Wayne County, Sellers continues to manage 240 acres for forage production and wildlife habitat. He served more than 33 years on the Wayne County Soil and Water Conservation District board, and is serving a second six-year term on the State Soil Conservation Committee. He is chair of the Iowa Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative and past president of the Iowa Forage and Grasslands Council. He lives on the farm with his wife Jean. |
