CASPER – Lois Van Mark is well versed in agriculture, from field work on the family farm to computer records for the United States Government. The Goshen County native is putting her experience to good use in her second term as the Farm Service Agency State Director for Wyoming.
Van Mark filled the position during the George W. Bush Administration, and this appointment was announced on Friday, Nov. 3.
“It’s good to be back,” Van Mark said during a recent telephone interview from her Casper office. “In some ways, it’s like I never left, and in some ways it’s going to be a lot different. We’ll have a lot of different faces because of retirements, and the electronic access with so much digitized. It’s going to be interesting until I figure out the computer. But I’m learning.”
According to Van Mark, she will oversee all 17 FSA county offices and approximately 65 employees.
She said one of her main responsibilities is the efficient distribution of the office’s budget throughout the state’s 23 counties.
