Balancing home and work is a complex task, and Family and Consumer Sciences provides skills and resources to balance these demands. The Agriculture and Resource Management Division provides information and educational programs on a wide range of topics. The most current research, cultural techniques, agronomic facts, and marketing skills are taught to farmers through educational meetings, field demonstrations, newsletters, and seminars. Agriculture and Resource Management works with commodity groups, government agencies, and agribusiness to conserve and manage natural resources, to promote agriculture, and to maintain a healthy environment for county residents. The agriculture agent works with commercial growers and farmers.
Major efforts focus on research, educational programs, and seminars in crop production.
