Nash County Cooperative Extension Welcomes a New Director

Hi, I am Heather Glennon, the new Nash County Cooperative Extension Director and Livestock Agent. I am very excited to be working in Nash County and look forward to meeting everyone. I welcome your feedback about ways to grow Nash County Agriculture and/or programs you think our farmers, youth and citizens need. You can email heather_glennon@ncsu.edu or call 252-459-9810 with your ideas.

I am hosting an informal “Meet and Greet” on Thursday, June 19th if you’d like to say hi in person and share your thoughts. Stop by the Extension Office/Ag Center anytime 3 – 8 pm.

I have lived in the Zebulon/Middlesex area for the past 15 years raising goats, chickens and a few pigs, steers and donkeys. I grew up in the 4-H and FFA programs showing livestock. I graduated from NCSU with M.S. Degree in Animal Science and a Ph.D. in Crop Science. I spent 15 years at NC State researching ruminant nutrition, forages and parasite control. Most recently, I was an Associate Professor at the University of Mount Olive teaching and advising animal science and veterinary bioscience students. Contact me if you have questions about your livestock operation!
