AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES

Barrow County Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) is committed to meeting the needs of agricultural educators, producers, and homeowners alike. In 2025 we conducted 169 on-site consultations, fielding questions on nuisance wildlife control, tree pruning, grass maintenance, etc. We helped interpret 295 soil, water, and forage sample results to help clients reach their plant production or landscape health goals. Partnerships with Master Gardeners, the local Georgia Farm Bureau, farmers markets, libraries, Young Farmers and other non-profits strengthen our reach. Our educational outreach programming served over 2,000 people as they learned about pasture pest control, garden planning, and various horticultural topics. We look forward to continuing service to our community in 2026 and beyond.

BARROW COUNTY 4-H

UGA Extension in Barrow County offers programs and services related to 4-H and ANR. Barrow County 4-H has a meaningful impact on local youth by helping them build leadership skills, confidence and a strong sense of community involvement. Through hands-on learning experiences, 2,565 youth participated in over 130 activities, including public speaking, agricultural projects, STEM programs, and community service. These opportunities allow young people to develop important life skills like teamwork, responsibility and problem-solving while exploring their interests and talents. Youth work with dedicated volunteers, educators and local partners. Barrow County 4-H creates a supportive environment where youth are encouraged to learn, lead, and serve. As a result, the program impacts the community by preparing the next generation of leaders who are committed to making a positive difference.
