My title is now "Cooperative Extension Summer Intern", and I wear this name tag with pride. The Cooperative Extension is a service that allows citizens of the county to gain professional help regarding their agricultural pursuits.
I have been fortunate in being able to spend time with each of the agents in the Rowan county office, gaining a greater understanding of what their job title entails.
At the Rowan Cooperative Extension office there is a livestock/field crops agent, a horticulture/local foods agent, a 4-H agent, and a Family/Consumer science agent. I encourage you all to inquire of the cooperative extension office in your home county, as there is an extension office in every North Carolina county!
If you have been following me on Instagram (second icon in the row of icons to the right side of the screen), you already know that I have been able to participate in a wide variety of projects during my four weeks at the office thus far. Projects including video editing, planting a teaching orchard, and planning a 4-H Summer Fun camp.
Below you'll find the product of a 1-Day video training that I was able to attend, regarding the use of mobile devices to shoot high quality video. Enjoy!
