LAWRENCE COUNTY- Purdue Extension- Lawrence County is seeking an Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator to serve our community with valuable programming and opportunities. Extension Educators provide the link between Land Grant University research and Indiana residents by creating innovative learning opportunities that address local issues. Dedicated to helping improve the quality of life for current and future residents, Educators collaborate with local, county, and state agencies, partner organizations, businesses, and schools to analyze needs, develop, implement, and oversee vibrant and sustainable research-based educational programs, and provide resources and expertise to the local community.
As the agricultural industry responds to the growing demands for food, fiber, and fuel, Extension
outreach is becoming more dynamic as it incorporates agriculture and natural resource-based
strategies into economic development plans and programs. The Agriculture and Natural Resources
Educator builds partnerships with county and regional agencies, agricultural producers, landowners,
agricultural organizations, homeowners, decision-makers, and citizens interested in the science of
agriculture. The ANR Educator serves as a key resource in agriculture and natural resources in their
county, and has responsibility for developing and implementing comprehensive programming, which
may include cropping systems, farm business/farm management, livestock systems, horticulture,
agriculture economics, natural resource conservation, and environmental stewardship.
