The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service Mission for Texans across District 10

The mission of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service to serve Texans through community-based education has remained unchanged for almost a century. In Uvalde, AgriLife Extension administrators work hand-in-hand with partners across The Texas A&M University System, the state legislature and local governments to deliver benefits to the communities we serve.

A statewide network of expertise

With a vast network of 250 county Extension offices and some 900 professional educators, the expertise provided by AgriLife Extension is available to every resident in every Texas county.

AgriLife Extension custom-designs its programs to different areas of the state, significantly depending on residents for input and program delivery. Extension educators are well-aware that a program offered in Dallas, for example, might be irrelevant in the Rio Grande Valley.

County extension agents also conduct result demonstrations and applied research by region — one of the most visible and effective educational tools that agents use to transfer research-based technology in agriculture to producers and the public. Extension specialists and agents work with development groups and others, sharing expertise and experiences to plan, implement, evaluate, analyze, publish and distribute result demonstrations and applied research
