Today, our Shelby County Extension Staff enjoyed a great Staff Development Day with Blues City Tours! Mr. Edgar was a great guide! We visited several iconic Memphis landmarks, learned more about the city we proudly serve, and even watched the famous Peabody Ducks march. Although some staff members were missed due to programs and vacations, it was a wonderful day of learning, team building, and celebrating the city we call home.

TDA staff enjoyed spending time with this year’s AgTech class at Agricenter International in Memphis today.

Business Development Coordinator Colleen Coury provided an overview of TDA and the ways the department serves Tennessee agriculture. Animal Health Technician Kayla Cochran shared insights into animal health programs and protecting livestock.

AgTech is a summer program for students in grades 10-12 that introduces participants to the many facets of agriculture while building financial literacy, STEM knowledge, life skills and workforce readiness. Through hands-on demonstrations, field trips and guest speakers, students gain valuable exposure to career opportunities across the agriculture industry.

Thank you to AgTech for inviting us to be part of this year's program and for helping inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders!
