​

Reg Hoff, a local farmer and rancher in Forsyth Montana, also served on the Rosebud Conservation District Board of Supervisors. Reg was a dedicated husband, father, and steward of the land who took pride in his family and his operation. Although Reg was a supervisor for four short years, he was involved in conservation most of his lifetime.  His successes in farming, ranching, extension, and the work he did with reclamation at the Peabody mine leaves a legacy that reflects his hard work and determination.

​

The Rosebud Conservation District wishes to continue to honor Reg Hoff though this memorial scholarship.  Reg is remembered for his service to the conservation district, his dedication to leadership, encouragement to think outside of the box on conventional farming and ranching along with his drive to always keep learning and sharing that knowledge with others.
