Agriculture Programs

UT Extension – McMinn County provides a gateway to the University of Tennessee as the outreach unit of the Institute of Agriculture. It brings research-based information about agriculture to the people of McMinn County in the areas of production agriculture, home and garden, community economic development, and environmental quality and safety.

The McMinn County Extension Office services offered include soil and forage testing, pesticide certification, plant, pest and disease analysis, and free publications on many agricultural related topics.

Our programs educate farmers and homeowners and other agricultural producers on the latest management practices needed to solve problems and improve production and marketing. Programs also help Tennesseans protect the environment and improve the management, marketing and use of natural resources.

Tennessee Master Row Crop Producer is designed to further improve profitability and sustainability of today’s row crop farming operations. Program cost is $100 – this program provides eligibility for the TN Ag Enhancement Row Crop Solutions Program at the 50% cost share level.
