Texas AgriLife Extension in Falls County reaches out to adults and youth, males and females of all ethnic backgrounds to help individuals and families improve their lives, properties, economic status, and self-sufficiency. By conducting seminars, workshops, demonstrations and camps, County Extension Agents such as Rosondra Hartsfield provide educational tools and information to the diverse peoples of Falls County to better manage their farms, ranches, businesses, health, animals, financial security and family relationships. Working through and with volunteers, Agents extend their knowledge and expertise into every corner and village in the county.
Most Extension programs are provided free of charge to groups who request a presentation or discussion covering a plethora of subjects. County Agents rely on the fact-based research of Texas A&M University and the participation of Extension experts based throughout the state. (Falls.agrilife.org)
