Hello Everyone,
We are having discussions on requirements in the degree area for Agents.
Can you tell us what your state requires? for example:
AG agent requires an Ag degree in one of our AG departments
FCS agent requires an FCS degree or a specific number of course work in FCS
4-H agent requires degree in related field to teaching
Please help us out.
Thank you so much and I really miss seeing everyone.
