New Ag Extension Agent

The staff of Alleghany County Cooperative Extension would like to welcome our new Agriculture Extension Agent, Teresa Herman, who joined us on Wednesday, December 1st. 

Teresa began work at Upper Mountain Research Station (UMRS) as a freshman in  college & did everything from breeding cows,  shearing Christmas trees and sheep,  to hoeing and harvesting burley tobacco.   After graduating from NCSU in Animal Science in 1995,  she became the livestock Extension Agent in Forsyth County.  Teresa later returned to NCDA/UMRS as the Livestock Research Technician & worked in various roles ranging from livetock research and husbandry to community supported  gardens.   She remained in that position until offered a position with NCDA/Meat & Poultry Inspection (MPID).  With MPID, she served as an Area Inspector covering roughly 16 counties in northwestern North Carolina. 


Welcome Teresa!
