OSU Extension Service
As you may already know, Oregon State University supports the agricultural community through OSU Extension faculty based in county offices across the entire state. Their purpose is to help you succeed.
OSU Extension offer educational programs, applied research results, digital access to all sorts of helpful information, field trips and an email newsletter to keep you apprised of all of these and other learning opportunities.
Faculty include agriculture subject matter experts advocating best practices in the counties they serve. And, when needed, you can contact them directly for help and advice. In Central Oregon, we enjoy the good fortune of two excellent advisors with decades of experience.
