Agriculture and Horticulture

Davidson County Extension uses the resources of the University of Tennessee and Tennessee State University to conduct educational programs in agriculture, horticulture and natural resources.

Extension's agricultural programs provide the link between Land Grant College Research and individuals such as farmers, homeowners and agribusinesses keeping them up to date on on the latest management practices needed to solve problems and improve production and marketing. Educational programs are designed to encourage understanding and adoption of improved technology that relates to agriculture and our natural resources.
