Jim Hoorman - OSU Extension Educator Agriculture and Natural Resources The Agriculture and Natural Resources (Ag/NR) program area of Mercer County Extension is led by Jim Hoorman. The goal of this program is to distribute information and guidance through new technology and techniques that are always being perfected through research. From answering questions asked by customers who stop by the office on how to keep moles out of their lawn, to brainstorming new ways to incorporate no-till farming, the Agriculture and Natural Resources program is always looking for ways to apply OSU's research to the needs of the community.
