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 and 4-H Youth Development
Montgomery County possesses a wide agricultural landscape. Key commodities include cotton, peanuts, pecans, Vidalia onions, timber, honeybees and beef cattle. Through the Southeast Georgia Master Cattleman program, hosted by the Montgomery County Extension agent, cattle producers obtained unbiased, up-to-date information to guide their production decisions. In addition to agricultural programming, our 4-H programs empower youth with hands-on learning in agriculture, communication, science, and other areas. These programs help 4-H’ers develop valuable life skills, foster community engagement, and create memorable experiences. Together, these programs support local agriculture and help youth gain essential skills for a bright future.
