Lee Schmelzer

Agriculture & Natural Resources, 4-H Agent

I moved to Stillwater county in 1998 and began serving the people of Stillwater county as an extension agent. I strive to bring information and education you can trust in the areas of agriculture, range management, beef cattle management and nutrition, natural resource management and nutrition, natural resource management, helping manage the 4-H program and growing and supporting the shooting sports program.


In my spare time my wife and I raise Morgan horses and use them as much as we are able, go bow hunting, and go fishing in the high country just south of us. We also enjoy watching our daughter, Emma, as the world unfolds before her.
