Report-CoverLettter January 2000 Dear Friends, The following annual report highlights the accomplishments of Lancaster County Cooperative Extension. It features a variety of educational programs aimed at helping people address local issues, improve profitability and learn new skills and knowledge.
Farmland preservation is a high priority with county and state government.
As the county is actively preserving farmland in the county, Cooperative Extension is supporting farmers through its educational programs. These programs include milk price management, odor control on swine farms, vegetable production, integrated pest management and precision agriculture. Through the efforts of the nutrition education advisers, many county residents have received valuable nutrition education which helped them to better feed their family. These accomplishments are made possible by the generous support of the county commissioners, state and federal legislators. This coupled with the support of over 660 volunteers, we were able to plan and conduct the many programs highlighted in this report.
