Jim Todd - County Extension Coordinator
Richard Petcher - Regional Extension Agent
Agronomy is the science of crop production. It incorporates the basic sciences into an applied science which is the foundation for most agriculture. Soil science is an important factor of crop production and involves not only those aspects which relate to crop production but also environmental aspects of soil management.

Michael McIntyre - Urban Regional Extension Agent
An inventory of Alabama forest and water resources finds riches beyond compare. Thriving forests cover almost two-thirds of the state, and our water resources are the envy of every state in the nation. It is no surprise that forestry, aquaculture, and wildlife have developed into multi-billion dollar industries. Safeguarding and developing these valuable resources will remain a major focus of Extension education.
