PLAINS – Bubba Lamolinare has been named the new Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service agent for agriculture and natural resources in Yoakum County, according to Yoakum County Judge Jim Barron and Michael Clawson, AgriLife Extension district administrator in Lubbock.

“Bubba has a broad range of practical and academic experience to assist him in building a solid foundation for his educational program in this key agricultural county,” Clawson said. “I feel sure he will be a positive influence on many levels and will maintain and expand the strong AgriLife Extension legacy Yoakum County has come to expect.”

Lamolinare started work Sept. 1, but will complete AgriLife Extension’s First Step orientation program in Gaines County Sept. 1-30 prior to assuming his permanent Yoakum County duties Oct. 1.

Lamolinare earned a master’s degree with an emphasis in range management, agriculture education and instructional technology from the University of Wyoming at Laramie, and dual bachelor’s degrees in recreation, park and tourism sciences and wildlife and fisheries sciences from Texas A&M University at College Station.  

He has worked previously as an irrigation research specialist for North Dakota State University Extension at Williston and as a farm and ranch manager for Millican Farms at Millican.
