Abraham Lincoln said this, and its still true today. That's the challenge, the Farm Center here at WSU Cooperative Extension is committed to supporting you in succeeding at that challenge. At present we have a resource library covering topics from animals to greenhouses to weeds. The Resource Library has a number of periodical publications available including Capital Press, Acres, Washington Farmer-Stockman, Today, American Small Farm and others.
Newsletters are also available.
The plant clinic can be contacted by phone any time of the year. A voice mail message may be left and the messages will be answered on a weekly basis during the winter months. They can answer questions on a wide range of gardening and horticulture topics, including landscaping with native plants. If they don't have an answer to your question, they will refer you to an extension agent. There is also a honey bee display complete with live bees.
