We are all saddened by the passing of Cliffton
Arthur "Cliff" Maguire, Wisconsin NRCS State Conservationist from
1980-1989. Cliff worked as Deputy State
Conservationist in Ohio before coming to Wisconsin. He helped oversee the
implementation of the 1985 Farm Bill, with its landmark legislation for
conservation – Conservation Compliance, Swampbuster, Sodbuster, and the
Conservation Reserve Program. Cliff was born on January 11, 1931, in Rockwell
City, Iowa. He was a 1960 engineering graduate of Iowa State University and a
U.S. Army veteran. He was married to Connie Slagle in 1981, in Columbus, Ohio. He was an avid gardener but treasured most
the time spent with his family.
