Profile

Hello all! My name is Sydney Rentz! I am beyond excited to serve as the Area Livestock Agent for Newberry, Laurens, and Greenwood Counties! I am from Ehrhardt, South Carolina, where I grew up on my family’s beef stocker cattle, row crop, and custom harvesting operation. In May 2025, I graduated from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with a concentration in Livestock Production and a minor in Agribusiness. While at ABAC, my studies focused on beef and dairy cattle production, and I was able to gain hands-on knowledge about both through classes and internships. I also served as the 2024-2025 Secretary for the ABAC Cattlemen’s Association. Once again, I am excited to join the Clemson Extension Family, and I look forward to serving Newberry, Laurens, and Greenwood Counties to the best of my ability!
