Welcome

University of Illinois Extension "helps you put knowledge to work." We provide educational programs and research-based information enabling local citizens to make practical decisions that improve the quality of their lives.

The nationwide network of Extension programs began in 1914 as a means of presenting land-grant university research in understandable and useful ways to farmers and rural families. Today, Extension serves both urban and rural areas by offering programs in four broad areas: 4-H Youth Development, Agriculture & Natural Resources, Community & Economic Development and Nutrition, Family & Consumer Sciences. Local citizens on an advisory council provide direction for our programming within these four areas.

The past year proved to be a successful year. University of Illinois Extension, Logan County has provided for a stronger youth development program, conducted applied research to enhance income for farmers, provided economic and nutrition information to economically challenged citizens, and assisted with many community development programs throughout the county.

In this report you will find a review of our programming during the past year as well as a financial report. For additional information on any of the mentioned activities, please contact us. We appreciate your continued support of our educational programming.

Sincerely,

John Fulton, County Extension Director
