Agriculture and Natural Resources Technician II

I'm Walter Adams and I'm the Agriculture & Natural Resources Technician II covering Duplin and Lenoir Counties. I started work with NC Cooperative Extension back in 2003.

I provide researched based educational information to farmers in Duplin and Lenoir County. I am the Pesticide Coordinator for both Duplin and Lenoir County and in charge of the Pesticide Recertification Program, Pesticide Container Recycling Program, and Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program. I work to help farmers with weed and insect identification and control options along with alternative production methods and technology such as high tunnel and black plastic and drip irrigation. I also work with the Farm Service Agency, Natural Resource Conservation Service, and County Soil and Water office to help farmers with a wide variety of conservation programs.
