As the impact of Coronavirus continues to affect our communities, Extension has been a driving force of consistency, efficiency, and leadership in Caldwell County. Service calls to the agriculture agent have increased by 40% since the beginning of the pandemic. Our traditional and non-traditional clientele have been at home and on the farm for extended periods of time. Agriculture agents are being called on more than ever to answer questions, solve problems, and help plan for future agriculture projects in lieu of traditional educational methods. Suspension of our everyday programs have allowed the agriculture agent to spend quality one on one time with beginning and small scale farmers to provide resources and instruction in multiple areas of the agriculture sector. 27 new extension clientele have been identified and serviced during the pandemic period.
