MSU Extension

Michigan State University Extension is a diversified, educational, high-technology organization serving residents throughout the county and Michigan. Extension programs link our local community to our state and world through trained, flexible staff who can adapt to serve our community's needs.

Extension Program Areas in Bay County 

• 4-H Youth Programs
• Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR)
• Community and Economic Development (ECED)

Extension is cooperatively funded by four major funding partners: the United States Department of Agriculture, the state of Michigan, local county government, and other cooperating agencies. Federal funding links Extension to national trends and issues affecting Michigan communities. State funding ensures that the needs of Michigan citizens are being met. Local funding means that Extension is in place to deal with the needs and issues in every county. Extension programs are very cost effective. They involve volunteers and community leaders who bring special expertise and knowledge to Extension programing to address our community's needs.
