NDSU Extension - Ward County

NDSU Extension - Ward County Our purpose is to create learning partnerships that help adults and youth enhance their lives and communities. http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/wardcountyextension

We are NDSU Extension. We extend education to North Dakota residents of all ages and walks of life. You’ll find us at work in your county, at Research Extension Centers and at the main campus of North Dakota State University. As North Dakotans work to improve their lives, we’re there to help. Our efforts have a special emphasis on strengthening agriculture and developing the potential of youth, ad

ults and communities. Our efforts are funded by county, state and federal government. We have a rich history of extending North Dakota’s land-grant university. Federal legislation established Extension in 1914, but years before that our predecessors were extending education through lectures, institutes, tours, fairs and demonstrations. North Dakota State University is an equal opportunity educator and employer. This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g., Braille, large print) print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.) should contact NDSU Extension at 701-231-1865. https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/ag-home/notice-nondiscrimination
