Athens County lacks an extension agent this year due to no salary funding in the budget. A $750 county match toward maintenance was proposed if farmers could raise another $750, but they could not. The law allows a levy for the state agricultural extension fund, which pays county agents. The Farm Bureau typically screens applicants. It is not required for commissioners to allocate money for a county agent appointed by OSU trustees.
