The Superior Express -

Blaire Todd joins the Post Rock Extension District as livestock production agent. She earned her bachelor's degree in animal science from the University of Missouri and her master's degree in animal science from Iowa State University. Todd was most recently employed as a graduate research assistant for Iowa State University with research focused on swine nutrition. She grew up in Northwest Missouri, where she showed livestock and was active in 4-H and FFA.

Todd looks forward to meeting the faces of Post Rock District and visiting with producers and their families to learn more about their needs within the community. "While moving to the area, I noticed how beautiful the landscape was, but as I've settled into the community, the people have stood out to me as they have been more than welcoming and inviting," Todd said. "I've also noticed the value this community places in agriculture and the betterment of this industry and I'm excited to work alongside people that have similar passions that I do."

Livestock production agents develop and deliver educational programs related to livestock production. Post Rock Extension District serves Jewell, Lincoln, Mitchell, Osborne and Smith counties. Blaire's primary office will be in Beloit. Contact Blaire Todd at 785-738-3597 or [email protected].
