Agriculture and Natural Resources

Crawford County Extension does not currently have an ag agent. We continue to assist clients through in-office visits, phone calls, and emails. Our office continues to send soil, water, forage, insect, weed, and plant-disease samples to UGA labs for processing.

4-H Youth Development

Crawford County 4-H plays an important role in the local community by preparing young people to become responsible, capable leaders. Through mentorship from adult volunteers and extension staff, participants gain confidence, develop life skills, and learn the value of service. The program also strengthens community ties by involving families, schools, and local organizations.

Crawford County 4-H offers a variety of activities designed to engage youth both in and out of the classroom. These include:

  • In-school programming that introduces students to 4-H concepts and opportunities
  • Community and specialty clubs where youth meet regularly to work on projects
  • Service projects and leadership activities that promote civic engagement
  • Educational events, camps, and competitions that build skills and confidence
