New Camp County Extension Agent Spencer Perkins said he wants to be the link between the farmers, ranchers and 4H kids to “all the 411 on agriculture.”
Mr. Perkins comes to Pittsburg/Camp County straight out of college, but he said he is excited about being in this area.
“I grew up in Canton, and graduated high school from Martin’s Mill ISD. I attended Texas Tech University and obtained a bachelor’s of science in animal science in December 2012,” Mr. Perkins said. According to Mr. Perkins, while at Tech he was involved in the horse judging team and the ranch horse team - both of which we competed nationally.
Mr. Perkins said he received a proper southern welcome to the community with a meet and greet hosted by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service Leadership Advisory Board.
