Agriculture and Natural Resources

UGA Cooperative Extension in Pierce County assists clientele with plant health, integrated pest management and cultural management practices by delivering university-based research that underscores environmental stewardship and capitalizes on production.  On-farm research trials are conducted in Pierce County to evaluate production practices, unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) technologies, herbicide applications in blueberries, insecticide application for blueberry pests, forestry herbicide trials, blueberry disease trials and blueberry variety trials.  These projects provide an academic contribution in supporting agent and specialist recommendations working with various commodities across the state.  The Agriculture and Natural Resources agent provides educational programming to over 300 producers and homeowners annually.  Producers are provided timely information on production and management practices to assist them with challenges and issues occuring throughout the season.  Homeowners are assisted through one-on-one consultations and site visits to evaluate issues and address concerns with home lawns, gardens and horticulture landscapes.   

4-H Youth Development

Pierce County 4-H serves over 650 students in a variety of in-school, after-school and volunteer-led programs.  Agriculture, summer camp, project achievement, club meetings and shooting sports are just a few areas our youth dive into and find their spark!  We strive to provide every youth with an opportunity to grow in their specialty and thrive as a productive citizen of society.
