The Ogle County Extension office gives residents a local link to the University of Illinois. The staff provides training and expertise in a variety of areas such as agriculture; community and economic development; and nutrition, family and consumer sciences. And the 4-H program is reaching out to the youth of our county. University of Illinois Extension provides practical, research-based information and programs to help individuals, families, farms, businesses and communities in Illinois. Its mission, in short, is to help the citizens of Illinois "put knowledge to work."
