My name is Jessica Bowen, I am the new Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator for Vinton county. I am very excited to be in this community and be a part of all the great agriculture happening here! I recently graduated from Ohio State with my Master’s in Agriculture Extension Education. I also received my Bachelor’s degree from Ohio State in Animal Sciences in 2011. I grew up a 4H member in Pickaway county and am now married to my husband of 5 years with whom I share my two children Noah (4) and Morgan (2), along with our animals! As you all are aware there has not been an Ag Educator in Vinton County in almost 50 years. I am very excited to be a resource for the community with any problems you have with agriculture, horticulture or any related topics. I will use this blog to post about upcoming programming,  Ag and Natural resources news and available learning experiences. Please feel free to call or stop in the office, I would love to meet you all! Starting in October I will be in the office every Tuesday but you can always call in and check and they will know my schedule!!
