Hello Kiowa County!

 It is my great pleasure to be writing this report as your new extension agent. If some of you don’t know, I was hired for this position the first of April. My predecessor was Jeramy McNeely, who is still with extension, but has moved to Fremont County. I wish him the best and want to thank him for all the help he has given me starting out.
