Livvy Preisser
My name is Livvy Preisser and I grew up in Lancaster, Virginia on a small family farm where we raised small grains. I grew up loving Agriculture and wanted to further my education in the industry. I received my Associates degree in 2011 from Virginia Tech in Agriculture Technology. After graduating from there I then graduated with my Bachelor’s in Agriculture Economics from Virginia Tech. I have had several internships in the Agriculture field with Extension, Farm Bureau, and the Eastern Virginia Agricultural Research and Extension Center. For the past year I have worked in Campbell County as an ANR agent with a focus in Agricultural Marketing. I am excited to start this new position in Southampton County and get to know everyone! Please contact me with any questions at livvy16@vt.edu.
