Travis has a BS in Animal Science and is no stranger to the livestock exhibiting industry because he grew up showing swine, dairy cattle, and goats. He looks forward to serving in a community where he can raise his daughters to also be advocates for the agriculture industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am excited to serve my community as the new UGA Extension Agriculture &amp; Natural Resources Agent for Madison County. I have had the privilege to grow up in the county and now start my own family here. My wife Rachel and I recently welcomed our twin girls Lillian and Conley Jane to the world earlier this year. I graduated from Madison County High School and have a bachelor\u2019s degree in animal science from the University of Georgia. My background is full of livestock shows, community service and leadership skills that I look forward to using in this new position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/madison\/files\/2023\/07\/Travis-Tankersley-Family-Wordpress-General-Image-Size-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Travis with his wife, Rachel, and twin daughters, Lillian and Conley Jane.\" class=\"wp-image-567\" width=\"963\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/madison\/files\/2023\/07\/Travis-Tankersley-Family-Wordpress-General-Image-Size-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/madison\/files\/2023\/07\/Travis-Tankersley-Family-Wordpress-General-Image-Size-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/madison\/files\/2023\/07\/Travis-Tankersley-Family-Wordpress-General-Image-Size-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/madison\/files\/2023\/07\/Travis-Tankersley-Family-Wordpress-General-Image-Size-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/madison\/files\/2023\/07\/Travis-Tankersley-Family-Wordpress-General-Image-Size.png 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a &#8220;Meet-n-Greet&#8221; planned for Monday, August 7, 2023 from 2-4pm.
