Wagner, Victor (Promotion - 1977)

Victor Wagner, UW-Extension farm management agent in Clark County, has been promoted by the UW System Board of Regents.

Wagner, who joined UW-Extension in his present post in 1966, has been named associate professor.

UW-Extension Chancellor Jean C. Evans said in announcing the promotion that it is a recognition of the outstanding job he has done in making UW system resources available to Clark County residents.

“It’s the kind of work that makes the Wisconsin idea of taking the university to the people a living reality,” Evans said.

In his position, Wagner has developed and helped teach a business management program for Clark County famers and a farm management program for farm women. He started a dairy cattle management program to increase productivity and profitability of dairy farms and also participated in the Upper Great Lakes Dairy Beef Demonstration project.

Before joining Extension, Wagner was a teacher in agriculture at Greenwood High School. Wagner received his Master of Science degree in dairy science at UW-Madison.
