📌 Quick Summary (TL;DR): County Agent
- 🌍 Origin: A classic American heirloom variety. It is named in honor of the historic “County Agents” (agricultural extension officers) who traveled across the US giving advice and sharing seeds with local farmers. Preserved and popularized among modern collectors by Tatiana Kushnareva.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate (tall), mid-season. Interestingly, it features a “wispy” or thin, compact vine structure. Don’t let the fragile-looking plant fool you—it is incredibly productive!
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Produces huge, beautifully oblate (flattened) pinkish-red beefsteaks.
- 👅 Flavor & Use: A quintessential slicing tomato with a traditional, old-fashioned, classic tomato flavor. Perfect for sandwiches and fresh summer salads.
- 📈 Yield: Exceptionally high yield, especially when grown in a greenhouse.

Indeterminate, mid-season slicing variety. The bush is quite compact with thin, wispy foliage. The fruits are very large, flattened (oblate) pink-red beefsteaks with a classic, regular tomato flavor.
The yield was very good. I grew it in the greenhouse. My seeds were from T. Kushnareva (Tatiana’s TOMATObase).
