Shane Curry - Ag Hero

Today I have the privilege to tell you about our Ag Hero, Mr. Shane Curry. Shane was born in Dublin, Georgia, but grew up in Mt. Vernon Georgia. He graduated from high in May 2001. After graduating from High School he attended Abraham Baldwin Agriculture College (ABAC) in Tifton, Ga. He also attended Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and The University of Georgia (UGA). Mr. Curry is married to Kimberly Craven Curry and has 2 children. Mr. Curry has been an Ag Agent for 14 years. Four Years in Montgomery County and Ten years in Appling County. When asked why he chose the Ag field his response was, I grew up with it and always enjoyed it. He said he use to help plant pecan trees at the age of three. When asked what advice he would give a young person wanting to pursue a career in Agriculture, he replied “Don’t think you have to know everything. Most people want to know you care about the problem and are willing to find a solution.”
