Our Impact

Making A Difference in Our County

UGA Extension in Grady County continues to make a meaningful impact through 4-H Youth Development, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Family and Consumer Sciences programs.

4-H Youth Development

In 2025, Grady County 4-H engaged 736 youth in hands-on STEM and agriculture programs during monthly club meetings, helping students explore science, natural resources, and the role of agriculture in their everyday lives. Through activities such as District Project Achievement, summer camp, Cotton Boll and Consumer Judging, archery and shotgun teams, Green Crusaders, Horse Club, wildlife judging, and livestock shows, youth developed leadership, teamwork, and life skills that prepare them for future success.

Agriculture and Natural Resources

The Agriculture and Natural Resources program provides local producers with research-based solutions to pressing challenges. For example, when a commercial eggplant field experienced a flea beetle insecticide failure, the ANR agent partnered with UGA Vegetable Entomologist Dr. Alton Sparks to conduct an insect bioassay, identifying effective control options and helping safeguard the crop.

Family & Consumer Sciences

Family and Consumer Sciences programs equip residents with practical skills to improve health, safety, and daily living. Educational efforts include food safety training, hands-on food preservation, youth cooking programs like Clovers in the Kitchen, Green Cleaning classes, and community wellness initiatives such as Get Grady Moving. These programs strengthen families and communities while promoting healthier, safer lifestyles across Grady County.
