Our mission is to extend lifelong learning to Georgia citizens through unbiased, research-based education in agriculture, the environment, communities, youth and families.
In Webster County, cover crop planting has not traditionally been a widely adopted practice. However, after conducting needs assessment activities and hosting a Cover Crops 101 program, cover crop acreage in Webster County has increased by over 1,000 acres.
Webster County 4-H found a need for Community Service this year at Four County Rehabilitation Center in Richland. Webster County 4-Her’s created decorated pumpkins for Thanksgiving and paper flowers arrangements for Christmas that were given as prizes for weekly Bingo night.
Some of our most popular services include:

•Georgia 4-H Summer Camp

Extension Publications
-
Vegetable Garden Calendar (C 943) The recommendations in this circular are based on long-term average dates of the last killing frost in the spring and first killing frost in the fall. Every year does not conform to the "average," so you should use your own judgment about advancing or delaying the time for each job, depending on weather conditions.
-
Native Plants for Georgia Part I: Trees, Shrubs and Woody Vines (B 987) This publication focuses on native trees, shrubs and woody vines for Georgia. It is not our intent to describe all native species — just those available in the nursery trade and those that the authors feel have potential for nursery production and landscape use. Rare or endangered species are not described. Information on each plant is provided according to the following categories: Common Name(s)/Botanical Name/Family, Characteristics, Landscape Uses, Size, Zones and Habitat.
