Meet Lisa Brown – Menard County Extension Agent!\u00a0 Lisa recently won the top Professional Category Award for Plant ID at the Texas Section Society for Range Management meeting in San Angelo earlier this month!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Why did you become a County Extension Agent?\u00a0<\/strong>Growing up in a ranching family here in Menard the local ranchers are close to my heart so the opportunity to work with them was exciting. I also knew working with the youth here in Menard\u2026bringing agriculture into the classrooms of the hallways in which I used to walk myself would be rewarding.\u00a0 \u00a0In addition I found great comfort in knowing I had 3 retired county agents and a retired range specialist living in Menard \u00a0to help show me the ropes.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

What are some concerns specific to agriculture in your county?<\/strong>\u00a0Increased amounts of invasive brush and lack of water are the main concerns here in Menard County.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

What is the most rewarding part of your position?\u00a0<\/strong>Working with the ranchers and landowners would by far be my favorite part of this job.\u00a0 I have great respect for them as stewards of the land.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

What is the weirdest request you have ever received as a CEA and how did you solve it?\u00a0<\/strong>I received a phone call that went something like this:\u00a0 \u201cMy daughter just bought some goldfish.\u00a0 Can you sex them for me?\u201d\u00a0 would definitely be my weirdest request.\u00a0 While I scrambled to figure out which specialist I should call to find out the answer to this question, the caller finally identified himself as a fellow agent playing a joke on me\u2026.we still laugh about this.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you could be anything else, what would you be?<\/strong>\u00a0A FULLTIME rancher\u2026no doubt.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
