Our Impact
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
In Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) programming, producers and landowners receive education on soil health, forage management, pest control and sustainable production practices. Demonstrations and consultations help farmers make informed decisions that protect natural resources while supporting profitable operations across McDuffie County
4-H Youth Development
McDuffie County 4-H engages students in leadership, citizenship and hands-on learning through school clubs, Project Achievement events, judging teams and community service. Youth explore agriculture, STEM, public speaking and environmental stewardship while building confidence and life skills that prepare them for future careers.
Family and Consumer Sciences
Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) programming supports healthier households through nutrition education, food safety classes, financial management guidance and community initiatives. Programs such as chronic disease prevention, emergency preparedness, brain development and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program equip residents with practical skills that strengthen families and improve quality of life.
