Collapse ▲It’s that time of year when the sweltering heat gets so bad, you’d think a chicken could lay an omelet. As we push through the dog days of summer, many folks are eagerly anticipating the transition of cooler weather ushered in by the fall season. If the hot weather has you staying inside close to the air conditioner, I would encourage you to take a moment to think about how you and your family could “Fall into Extension” with the wide array of programs available.
North Carolina Cooperative Extension transforms science into everyday solutions for North Carolinians through programs and partnerships focused on agriculture and food, health and nutrition, and 4-H youth development. Our mission is to extend research-based information to individuals that will improve their lives and grow our state. We are the trusted, go-to resource for connecting research and education to the communities, economies, and families of our state, creating prosperity for all North Carolinians. Leveraging the partnership of the United States Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture, our state’s two land-grant universities – NC State University and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, and our local county governments, we are positioned to identify issues, research new solutions, and transfer those results back into our local communities, translating knowledge into everyday applications.
So what does that mean for you? I would encourage you to visit our website at robeson.ces.ncsu.edu to explore all Extension has to offer. Our navigation bar has quick links to upcoming events, a way to sign up for email updates by joining our contacts list, and an opportunity to meet all the personnel and their area of responsibilities. We would love to have you involved in our programs, be it gaining knowledge on specific topics through educational training opportunities at workshops, field days, and lectures, or just benefiting from receiving sound recommendations through our many publications and agents.
