Llano County Agent Debate Draws Local Opinion
A local debate questions the value and cost of the county agent role in Llano County. The piece notes the county pays $765 monthly, with two thirds funded by the extension service, and reports the Chamber of Commerce severed ties with the agent citing full‑time duties. It references a broader Texas context with 244 agents in 254 counties and ties to a German‑language publication controversy.
