The Boone County Extension office provides practical, research-based information and programs to help individuals, families, farms, businesses and communities in Illinois. It is the home of the county's 4-H Program for youth as well as being the home of the Boone County Master Gardeners. Its mission, in short, is to help the citizens of Illinois, and specifically the citizens of Boone County put knowledge to work.
