Agricultural Education & Community Engagement

Amid a noticeable decline in production agriculture throughout west central Georgia, the Coweta County Extension office continues to serve as a vital source of agricultural education for the public. Through involvement in the Coweta County Agricultural Fair, Extension faculty and staff engage thousands of individuals annually in hands-on, informative programming. The fair provides an opportunity to educate attendees on agricultural commodities still produced locally, even as farmland availability continues to shrink. Programming includes livestock exhibitions, interactive demonstrations and youth education initiatives focused on pollinator protection, local food systems and more.

4-H Youth Development & Achievements

During the program year, Coweta County 4-H youth collectively earned 31 Master 4-H Awards, establishing the county as one of the leading programs in Georgia. These awards reflect not only individual achievement but also the long-term impact of a thriving youth development model. Youth reported increased confidence, teamwork ability and problem-solving skills. Families noted that youth showed greater self-discipline and leadership at home, school and in the community.

Family & Consumer Sciences Impact

The Family and Consumer Sciences food preservation program reached more than 180 participants. More than 95% of participants reported an increased knowledge and self-efficacy in canning and general food preservation. Additionally, more than 95% reported they intend to use and feel confident in using techniques both correctly and safely in the future.
