Lee County Extension
Agriculture&Natural Resources
Helping Lee County builders, growers, and ranchers enhance their production and distribution
capacities, while maintaining sound environmental principles, is the business of the Agriculture/Natural
Resources program of Lee County Extension. The county Agriculture/Natural Resources agent assists them
in adapting to new technology and protecting our environment.
Through consultations, on-site demonstrations and workshops the agent provides the latest
information in five major program areas: Natural Resources, Crop Production, Produce Marketing,
Pesticide Use and Education, and Livestock and Range Management.
