James Barnhill (photo to the right) is the Agriculture Agent in the Morgan County Extension office. Farms and ranches are a part of life in Morgan County, despite ever increasing urban sprawl. It is this rich heritage that has always been a big center of activity at Extension. Mr. Barnhill uses his wealth of technical expertise and practical know-how in consulting with his extension clients. Other areas of focus are sustainable agriculture, weed control, soil testing, farm safety, irrigation scheduling, plant disease analysis, insect identification, dairy herd improvement, farm managment, and crop variety trials.
