On-Farm Field Consultations

    Each year the Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent makes close to 10,000 face to face contacts with Local Farmers and Lawn and Garden Owners to solve production and pest management related questions.  During these on site visits the Extension Agent works to assist local citizens with question like, How do I control this pest or how much fertilizer do I need for my yard?  The local Extension agent collects information from the citizen and works with extension resources to come up with a legal and environmentally sound answer for correcting the problem at hand.  Many times the agent will collect or request pest samples like weeds or insects and plant material for proper identification.  

 If you have production agriculture or horticulture questions, contact Dinwiddie Extension Office for assistance.
