Extension Office

The mission of the University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension Service is to help Nebraskans apply timely, research-based knowledge to their daily lives.

In addition to the Furnas County Extension Office, our office also collaborates with:

• UNL Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources
• UNL West Central Research and Extension Center

In Cooperative Extension:

• We are committed to improving the productivity and quality of the lives of Nebraskans.
• We do this by providing educational programming.
• We address and focus on selected priority needs and issues.
• We develop programs available to a diverse statewide clientele-agricultural enterprises, families, youths, businesses and communities – as well as national and international audiences.
• We use a partnership of federal, state, local and private resources, i.e., technologies, information, money and people.
• We offer all those audiences opportunities to understand and adapt to technical, economic and social change.
