Utah State University

Benjamin Scow is the Utah State University Agriculture Extension Agent in Washington County, and has been serving that community for nearly 5 years. Ben has a large focus on backyard farms and has worked with USU’s Poultry Specialist and Urban Small Farms Specialist on various chicken related projects, including online classes aimed at raising chickens from start to finish. Ben raised his own chickens solely for egg production, which he sells at the local farmer’s market, to neighbors, and of course for his own family. Ben and his wife Emily have 3 daughters who love spending time on their farm, growing peaches and tending to a large garden. Small and large livestock have often been a valuable part of the farm and they love having the whole family involved in running it.
