When residents of Claiborne County have questions related to agriculture, consumer economics, food and nutrition, and even how to make their lawns grow lush with grass, there is a resource standing ready to assist. The Claiborne County Extension Office, the outreach arm of the University of Tennessee and Tennessee State University, helps to share the knowledge and expertise of the universities through education developed by agents, specialists and volunteers across the state.
