Texas Cooperative Extension is a partnership between Nacogdoches County, the Texas A&M University System, and the United States Department of Agriculture. The mission of Texas Cooperative Extension in Nacogdoches County is to improve county residents' quality of life with custom-made educational programs which are based on community-identified needs and developed by local volunteers. We provide research-based information in agriculture, horticulture, family and consumer science, 4-H and youth development and community resource development through educational programs. The Nacogdoches County Extension program is administered by a professional staff of four Extension agents. Our office can offer programs to groups in the following areas: Health & Fitness: programs addressing stress, wellness, dietary guidelines, food safety, fitness and using the food guide pyramid; Limited Resource Farmers: a program to increase profitability through diversification, competitive marketing and rural economic development; Youth Development: positive, supervised programs and activities to improve youth self-esteem involving parents, volunteers and youth; Farm & Ranch Profitability: management practices for livestock and forage producers to increase income; Water Conservation and General Horticulture: programs and practices for home and commercial horticulture and managing environmental resources; Better Living for Texans: program designed for limited resource families to learn nutrition, wellness and food safety. |
