Over 1100 county extension agents from across the country are in Sioux Falls this week attending their 100th convention. Cynthia Gregg from Virginia is President Elect of the National Association of County Ag extension Agents. She says the challenge for all county extension agents is being able to help producers deal with a variety of problems. Gregg says being able to network with different agents who have different specialties is the key to doing that.

Gregg says her goal as leader of this group is to be able to help each county extension agent do the best job their capable of doing in meeting the needs of the people they serve.

The convention began Sunday and runs through Thursday at the Sioux Falls convention center.
