The opportunity to work in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics and NC State Extension is truly rewarding. It allows me to play a key role in program building, funding development, extension leadership, agricultural business research, business tool development, budget development, new crop feasibility, farm business consulting, and more. I see my job as a way to serve the needs of our wonderful extension agents across the state and by default help North Carolina Farmers. If you have not had the chance to get to know the team of agents in your county I encourage you to check them out or give them a call.
