Born to a World War II veteran and a farm girl from Ethel, MS, Ernest Hilmon Flint Jr. came into the world in 1947. He grew up in a very rural part of Attala County, MS, with agrarian values all around him. As a young man he was a part of the local 4-H and the FFA and competed in judging contests from his dairy cattle to his award-winning corn crops. At the age of 18 he enlisted in the Army National Guard and bounced around to different units in the state from Kosciusko to Durant and others, but would finally find his home at Camp McCain in Elliot, MS. Camp McCain was a small base when he was transferred as an officer in those years, but he is credited with helping obtain surrounding property and building this base into a very large and destination training place for artillery and troop maneuver training nationwide. While excelling in the National Guard, Ernie had also acquired B.S. and M.S. degrees from Mississippi State University in agronomy and seed technology. He went on to work for a number of seed companies and helped develop new seed cleaning and handling techniques. He eventually started his own businesses in crop consulting, custom seed cleaning, custom crop spraying, and many other smaller ventures through the 1980’s. In 1991 he accepted the position as county extension agent in his home county of Attala and moved his wife, Doris, and five children to central Mississippi from their home in the Mississippi Delta. With this new venture he went back to college and received a Ph.D. in agronomy from Mississippi State University in 1998. Through the years, Ernie was instrumental in the implementation of new ideas in agronomic practices from no-till farming and soil health to plant physiology and how plants react to certain environmental conditions. Ernie leaves behind a legacy of giving to his country by working to become a full Colonel in the Army National Guard to the positive effects on the agricultural world through his weekly field notes which have been seen by farmers in much of the United States and Canada. Ernie was always generous of his time with the younger generation in agriculture. Ernie served the farmers of his area until his death on January 20, 2018. He was dedicated to agriculture to the end, and I hope, as his son, his legacy will live on in the work he so passionately loved.
