Extension is here to help
University of Illinois Extension develops educational programs, extends knowledge, and builds partnerships to support people, communities, and their environments as part of the state's land grant institution. Local staff at the offices in Logan, Menard, and Sangamon counties provide programs in Commercial Agriculture, Horticulture, Nutrition Education, and Youth Development. For other topics, we can connect you with regional and statewide specialists and share their research-based resources.
