Kelsey is based in Central Montana. She comes from a ranching family, and enjoys sharing that lifestyle with her children on their small homestead.  She began her agronomy career young, while also serving her local FFA chapter and later the Wyoming State FFA Association. Kelsey attended Montana State University, where she did undergraduate research as a McNair Scholar. After earning her B.S in Animal Science, she resumed working with the USFWS at the National Bison Range. Her agriculture career continued on with local governments, nonprofits, and in her own Ag enterprises. Her professional skills are in grazing systems, noxious weed management, mapping, monitoring, remote sensing, plant identification, soil health, local food systems, animal handling, conservation ecology, rural economics, business management, strategic partnerships, and public policy. She values any opportunity to further engage with the farm and ranch community.
