A Note from the Director |
|
|
Welcome to the Hernando County Extension Website. The Cooperative Extension Service is a partnership between the United States Department of Agriculture, University of Florida Institute Of Food and Agricultural Sciences, and the Hernando County Board of County Commissioners. The extension service is divided into four programmatic efforts. Horticulture is a very popular program that instructs homeowners on growing vegetable gardens, and growing lush green lawns. 4-H Youth Development is one of the most recognized faces of the extension service. This program continues to reach out to youth in new ways to produce quality citizens. Agriculture is a driving force in Florida’s economy. The agriculture program works with producers of blueberries, cattle, citrus, nursery, horse farms, and natural resources. Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) is now a financial management/sustainable building position.
