County Demonstrations Bring Research Home Demonstrations are the heart of our outreach – working with producers and the public under real-world conditions. These demos are the proving ground for land grant research and an engine for increased productivity. An example of a large scale demonstration can be found at our Discovery Farms located in several Arkansas counties where ongoing research and demonstration of best practices are conducted via cooperation with local producers.
Free Consultations Offer Citizens Face-To-Face Help Getting access to one of the largest research-based information networks in the state is as close as a stop by your county extension office or catching your agent at the grocery store. You can contact your county agent to request face-to-face help with information regarding gardening, livestock, food preservation, voter education, and more.
Landowner Visits Offer Local Advice Sometimes a house or farm call is needed to solve those deeper riddles of plant or livestock production. Agent advice can be customized for you on the spot. Both 4-H and agriculture agents are available to visit your land and assist with livestock or property/crop questions. Contact your agent today
