Educator Vacancies Filled in the Agriculture Department

The Agriculture Program in Wyoming County has been short staffed for the better part of the year. To address these vacancy issues, the agriculture committee has decided to reorganize two positions.

Lutie has a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and Marketing, is a Master Gardener and is the owner of a local plant-related business and brings with her valuable business expertise.

Rebecca Ireland-Perry’s (left) dairy/livestock program assistant duties have been expanded to include other Extension Educator responsibilities in the areas of potato production and agriculture technician. Becky has a Master’s Degree in Animal Science, has crop production related experience and has the interest and ability to work with the potato industry including the potato sucrose testing and interpretation.
