Hi! I’m Jenny Brhel (previously Rees), Nebraska Extension Educator serving York, Seward, and Fillmore Counties. Previously I served as the Extension Educator for Clay County (and surrounding region of Nuckolls/Thayer/Fillmore/Webster/Butler/Polk) at various time-frames. My degrees are in agronomy, crop protection and plant pathology from UNL. 

I grew up on a small crop and livestock farm in Northeast Nebraska where I learned to love the farm and outdoors. My 4-H experiences helped me develop life skills such as public speaking, leadership, and plant identification-all of which I often utilize in my Extension career. My husband and I seek to steward the land we have by farming in a regenerative way. We utilize plants with grazing cattle to improve land with less nutrient and chemical inputs. We also raise row crops and cover crops for seed and grazing. My faith in Jesus Christ alone as my Lord and Savior is an important part of my life. These experiences have shaped the way I approach Extension. I think and work with a system’s perspective with projects and problem solving. I also appreciate learning from the people I serve.

I really enjoy Extension for the flexibility and opportunity to help people. Every day is different-I never know what questions will be asked or what problems will need diagnosed, but I enjoy the challenge and change everyday! In Extension our mission is to provide unbiased, research-based information to the people we serve. Hopefully you will find this blog helpful for answering your agricultural production questions in addition to horticultural and other questions I receive in the Extension Office!
