Extension agents are not paid overtime in Wisconsin either - my husband used
to be one, and I know others that are agents now. Extension agents here are
paid a salary, which is handy for the University/County/State/Federal
governments that they represent - as they get way more than 40 hours a week
for no extra pay. And yes, many evenings and a fair amount of weekends.
