What is ANR?
Purdue Extension's Ag and Natural Resources (ANR) Educators serve as a research based, unbiased information source for county and state constituents on a variety of topic including: crops, ag business, livestock, natural resource, horticulture, small farms, urban ag, pesticide use, and land conservation. In partnership with Purdue University subject matter experts, ANR Extension Educators can provide relevant and proven best management practices to address many client's situational needs.
The Purdue Extension-Lawrence County Agriculture & Natural Resources program works hard to provide the needed resources and education to our county's producers and citizens interested in agriculture topics. If your pursuits are in livestock, forages, crops, horticulture, natural resources or any of the other many important facets connected to agriculture, this program area offers a wide array of assistance.

Kassi Shelton
Kassi grew up as a farmer’s daughter and was actively involved in 4-H for ten years, cultivating a deep-rooted passion for agriculture from an early age. A proud alumna of Purdue University’s Animal Sciences program, she continued her connection to the agricultural community by marrying into a family farming operation. Her husband and father-in-law raise Red Angus cattle, continuing a multigenerational tradition of livestock production.
She and her family have called Bedford home for the past 13 years. Their two teenage children are also active in 4-H and Junior Leaders, carrying on the family’s strong commitment to agricultural education and youth development. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys gardening, traveling, and photography.
In her role with Lawrence County Extension, she is excited to give back to the agricultural community that has shaped her life, and looks forward to supporting local producers, families, and youth through her work.
