Whitman County FSA head retires after 28 years at post

Whitman County’s committee overseeing the USDA’s Farm Service Agency is once again looking for a director. Kathy Wolfe, who was named to the post in August of last year, retired as of Aug. 31.

Wolfe worked with the FSA for 28 years, both in offices in Whitman County and Colorado and in the national offices in Washington, D.C.

She and husband Richard moved here from Colorado with their eight-year-old son, Marcus.

Fred Hendrickson, a program technician, will serve as the interim director while the county committee seeks a new director.
