Due to significant county budget cuts, office hours have been reduced.  Currently, we do not have an Agriculture & Natural Resources Educator. However, we do continue to provide a 4-H Youth Development Educator for Jackson County.  We apologize for any inconvenience. We hope to gain additional funding in the future.
