The Extension office has a number of resources available to assist in project completion. In fact, it has "project support files" for nearly every project area. Each contains brochures, articles, pamphlets, etc. Call to see how much is available in the project areas that interest you. Then, stop in, and look through the file. The staff can copy the things you'd like to keep for future reference.In addition, the Extension office has selected several excellent project resources that are available for sale.
