Good Morning, I thought I might introduce myself: my name
is Julie Zimmerman and I am the new Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent with
Texas AgriLife Extension Service in Travis County. With this blog I plan to keep
you apprised of news and events relating to agriculture and natural resources
in your area.
I
grew up in Burnet County on a small family ranch and was a 10 year 4-H member . I obtained a
bachelor’s and master’s degree of science in agriculture from Tarleton State
University. I first came to Travis
County in 2006 and worked with the 4-H CAPITAL Program (a youth program under
the umbrella of Texas AgriLife Extension – Travis County) as the Animal Science
Coordinator.
In my new role I will serve the residents of Travis County in both
urban and rural settings, helping educate in subject areas of: conservation of
natural resources, sustainable agriculture, livestock, land management and
crops.
I’m looking forward to continuing to serve the people of Travis
County in my new position as county Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural
Resources. AgriLife Extension is all
about serving the residents of Texas and improving their lives through
educational outreach. I hope to continue in that mission and tradition.
