Agronomic Crops
Jim Todd - County Extension Coordinator
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.
Animal Science and Forage
Anthony Wiggins - Regional Extension Agent
Animal science is the study of feeding, breeding and management of domestic animals, particularly those of agricultural significance. This body of knowledge encompasses subjects ranging from herd genetics to high-performance diets to animal vaccines to environmentally sound animal management, with a focus on transferring this knowledge into practice.

Forestry, Wildlife and Natural Resources
Beau Brodbeck - Regional Extension Agent
Denise Heubach - 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.
