Extension Minute

In 2016 we had a dream of getting space on the local radio station to give quick and to the point Extension information and leave the listener with the tag, ‘for more information, call your local Extension Service’.  

The dream came true, we have 3 full time sponsors for the program called, Extension Minute.  We do see an increase in questions on the topics that were discussed that week.  I am also met on the street with, the tag, And Now for Your Extension Minute, so I know people are listening.  Topics for the radio program comes from those questions that we receive that week in our office.  I always end the taped 1 minute show with, ' For more information, please call your local Extension Office'.
