   The mission of Agricultural Extension Educators is to improve the productivity and efficiency of the number one industry of Ohio -- agriculture.  Many field days, test plots, and educational meetings are held regularly to help farmers maintain production and keep up to date.  The Extension Educator is also responsible for teaching pesticide applicator training, which is required of all farmers applying pesticides.

In today's agri-business environment, marketing is often the key to success or failure.  Working with the agricultural community on grain marketing, livestock production, and other marketing strategies continues to be of prime importance to the Agricultural Extension Educator. 

The latest information on production technology is constantly needed and requested by the producers in Ohio.  Their source of unbiased, research-based information continues to be their local County "Agent", who is no farther than a phone call away.

In addition, information is available to assist urban and suburban residents with questions regarding home horticulture, entomology, and other areas of homeowner interest.
