[QUOTE="BC, post: 857584, member: 67"] I am sorry that some of you have had a bad experience with a county Extension agent. For a little over 29 years, I worked as a county agent in Texas. During that time, I probably disappointed some home owners or backyard gardening enthusiasts because landscape and ornamental horticulture was an area that I could not readily give off the cuff recommendations without doing some research. My training was livestock prodction. I was responsible for providing educational programs in beef, dairy, forages, fruit and vegetable production (both commercial and home gardens), pesticide applicator traing, wildlife management, youth development through the 4-H program and yes landscape and ornamental horticulture. Not trying to excuse poor service , just a lot of areas to cover. Most county agents have advisory committees made up of local producers who influence or direct what educational programs are developed in that county. I encourage you to find out who is serving on that committee and share your ideas of educational needs. Better yet, talk to your agent about how you can be a volunteer on that committee. [/QUOTE]
