In Extension we keep clientele up to date with monthly newsletters, Facebook posts and even radio. The County Agents corner is a weekly radio program that is broadcasted to 48,000 listeners. Horticulture and ANR agents from four different counties participate in this program on a weekly rotation.
These radio shows allow agents to share timely topics, upcoming programs, and other events that have occurred between the releases of their newsletters. The shows are geared towards farmers and homeowners covering a variety of topics from pruning fruit trees, pest control, farm safety, livestock management and many more. The Mercer County Horticulture Agent participates two days a week during their week, they share horticulture information for both homeowners and commercial growers. In addition to the agents calling in live in the morning, a recording is also submitted and played later in the day for the noon show.
