Happy Statehood Day, Tennessee. Since 1796, the Volunteer State has been a beacon for opportunity, security & freedom, & we remained focused on strengthening our state for future generations of Tennesseans.

The Early Career Cohort is the Central Region’s new agent onboarding program. Our 25 one year or less agents spent the past two days participating in training. We are excited about this group. @UTIAg @utextension

It's time to mark your calendars for the TFGC Annual Meeting! We look forward to seeing you in Lebanon, TN on November 10th. Registration details to come at a later date.

Rest in Peace Diablo! You were the best. I’ll miss you.

I was proud to host 34 New and Re-assigned ANR Agents the past two days in the Central Region. The agents attended sessions at the Central Region Office and the Highland Rim AREC to help with their new roles. @UTIAg @utextension @UTAgResearch #RealLifeSolutions
