for Agriculture & Natural Resources Education--
Meade County
The Agriculture and Natural Resources program provides non-formal education in the areas of agricultural production, homeowner plantings, and natural resource utilization. Specific programs include information on food production, farm business management, marketing and processing agricultural products, natural resource management and home lawn and garden information. We address issues dealing with environmental stewardship, the rural-urban interface, and value-added enterprises.
Soil Samples Are Free to Meade County Residents Only. At this time samples can be dropped off inside our vestibule. Remember to fill out the available paperwork and place soil in the soil sample bag with it properly identified with a field ID. (First set of doors are open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to drop off soil samples)
We are not taking non-resident or out of state soil samples at this time.
