The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service has filled key positions by hiring new agents and program personnel in districts across the state. Ronnie May has been hired to oversee Newton County.
These county agents and program specialists are positioned to help AgriLife Extension serve every Texas county. They will serve as the agency’s primary connection to people in their local communities, providing hands-on education and programs grounded in scientific research.
The grassroots structure of AgriLife Extension, with a presence in all 254 counties, ensures area residents can contact someone familiar with everyday solutions and emerging needs specific to their county. County offices are anchored to 12 district offices located throughout the state, dedicated to problem-solving and addressing unique regional challenges.
