JUST SO YOU KNOW
I am retiring, so this will likely be my last Hay Auction Posting.

Randy Pepin will be working in this position on an interim basis in Stearns-Benton-Morrison Counties while the UM Extension and the counties work through a regular hiring process. Randy has good Extension and other significant ag experience. He can be reached through either of the county offices. His Extension email address is pepin019@umn.edu.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share this information with you and to work with many of you in a lot of other ways with U of M Extension over the years. I leave this task with thoughts about the opportunities and challenges of 2018. I will always appreciate and hope what is well for farmers and farm families and the agriculture community.
