Johnson County K-State Extension
We are dedicated to a safe, sustainable, competitive food and fiber system and to strong healthy communities, families, and youth through integrated research, analysis, and education.
Bringing K-State to Johnson County
Here at the K-State Johnson County Extension Office, we pledge to serve our community in a variety of ways, from health and nutrition, to agricultural and horticultural needs, money management, and much more. We exist to help others through Kansas State University knowledge and information in order to better serve our communities, specializing in problem-solving, education, and community service.
Since 1917, the Johnson County Extension Office has dedicated our time and resources to ensure that the community of Johnson County continues to grow and thrive.
