Abstract
Through the years, the role of a county Cooperative Extension agent has changed somewhat. Originally dealing with agriculture and home economics education, Extension agents now get involved in managing economic development programs for counties. This article discusses the evolution of an extension agent's role in an assigned county from agriculture and home economics education to youth development and community economic development. Specifics are provided on one Community Economic Development Agent's role in filling the economic development programming needs in a rural North Central Ohio county.
