Note from the Director

As a last note, please remember that this has been a difficult year for many in our state. While the east is dealing with excess water, the western counties have experienced very dry conditions all year. Water for livestock and crops, and feed for livestock have been hard to come by for many of our farmers.

We in Extension appreciate the hard work and dedication of our entire staff, both on and off campus, in helping youth, the public and our farmers deal with the many challenges in front of them.

~ Dr. Rich Bonanno, Director, NC State Extension
