AGRICULTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES

Superior research and education is the driving force of agricultural innovation, and no one knows this better than UGA Extension. The Liberty County Agriculture and Natural Resources program provides residents with valuable tools to manage their land and resources effectively.  The program offers soil and water tests to help our community  maintain their soil and water needs for their homes and properties.  If you require more assitance than soil and water tests, the Liberty County Extension office can refer you to our neighboring county agents.  

FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES PROVIDES NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

Family and Consumer Sciences Extension provides nutrition education programs and educational materials for adults and youth. Consumers are more likely to make better food choices for themselves and their families when they have been provided with nutrition education. These practices will lead to healthier youth who attend school regularly with better academic success and adults who have the ability to eat healthier and lessen the occurrence of expensive chronic diseases. By improving the overall health habits of Georgians, fewer hospitalizations and medications will be required, reducing health care costs for individuals, taxpayers, small businesses and corporations.
