    Description

    The Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) in Stokes County is responsible for planning, executing and evaluating effective and comprehensive educational programs and training designed to solve social, economic, and environmental problems in horticulture confronting small-scale, limited-resource, part-time farmers and home horticulturists.


    Programs address high priority needs and issues for these farming populations that align with the mission and vision of the Cooperative Extension Program at NC A&T; Stokes County programs include commercial vegetable & fruit production, high tunnel crop production, beekeeping and pollination, and harvesting and handling fresh produce.

    The Extension Agent is responsible for non-formal education and farm demonstrations in

    appropriate technology, best management practices, high tunnel fruit and vegetable production, horticulture, marketing, and leveraging community collaboration.


    The Extension Agent collaborates with county and community based organizations to deliver programs and recruit program participants; determines program needs and priorities by conducting needs assessments; and evaluates data collected from multiple sources including advisory committee members, county residents and program participants.

    The Cooperative Extension Program at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is an educational outreach organization within the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences.

    In addition to partnering with the state's two land grant universities, the center enjoys an excellent partnership with local government, relevant industries and community-based associations and organizations.

    County produce sustains three active farmers markets, a sweet potato alliance and a local food coalition.
