Thomas Oldham Sandy
Thomas Oldham Sandy (1857-1919) was a State Demonstration Agent from 1907 to 1917. Called the father of farm demonstration and extension work in Virginia, Sandy was a progressive farmer who promoted improved scientific education in agriculture. He became the commonwealth's first demonstration agent, a position moved under VPI's purview in 1914. His boyish enthusiasm, keen sense of humor, and love for others endeared him to numerous people, and his work provided a major boost to agriculture in Virginia.
