Making A Difference in Our County

 

University of Georgia Cooperative Extension is working hard for its constituents. The following are examples of Extension’s impact in the county over the past year.

 

Agriculture and Natural Resources

 

Johnson County Extension has long been a cornerstone of agricultural innovation, helping local farmers turn science into success. With timber, beef cattle, and forage production leading the way, the county boasts over $43 million in farm gate value, making it a vital part of Georgia's farming community. Johnson County producers have earned recognition locally, statewide and even nationally. The county also has producers exporting premium hay to other countries. Through research-based guidance, hands-on workshops and ongoing technical support, Johnson County Extension empowers farmers to maximize productivity, implement sustainable practices and adapt to the ever-changing challenges of modern agriculture. The impact goes beyond the fields, supporting the entire community by promoting a prosperous, healthy and resilient local food system. 

 

Johnson County 4-H

 

Johnson County 4-H is flourishing, offering young people countless opportunities to grow, learn and lead. Monthly classroom programs for fifth through eigth graders spark curiosity and build skills in everything from science and technology to public speaking and healthy living. Beyond the classroom, students can participate in District Project Achievement, livestock shows, consumer judging competitions and Project SAFE, gaining real-world experience and confidence. Summer camp programs and other hands-on activities help youth explore new interests, build friendships and develop leadership skills that will last a lifetime. With a focus on learning by doing, Johnson County 4-H continues to nurture the next generation of leaders, innovators and community-minded citizens.
