Extension Agents serve as trusted local resources, connecting agricultural producers, agribusinesses, youth, and community partners with Penn State's research, educational programs, and practical solutions that strengthen agricultural production, enhance community resilience, and support the long-term vitality of Pennsylvania agriculture. Working collaboratively with Extension Educators, faculty, and specialists, they build relationships with producers and community partners, identify local needs, and connect stakeholders with Penn State's statewide expertise and research-based resources.
