Celebrating 100 years of helping Iowans become their best

Iowa State University celebrates 100 years of Extension helping Iowans become their best. Extension began in Iowa in 1903, 11 years before the national cooperative extension network was established. A group of Sioux County farmers cooperated with Iowa State to establish the “extension idea”—taking the land-grant college to the people. Today, Iowa State University is more broadly committed to improving the quality of life in Iowa. With a presence in every county, innovative use of modern communication technology, and extensive partnerships, Extension engages Iowans with their land-grant university. The people of Iowa are served through six program areas—Agriculture and Natural Resources; Business and Industry; Communities; Families; 4-H Youth Development; and Continuing Education. For more information, visit your local Iowa State University Extension office or www.extension.iastate.edu/.

People across Iowa and the nation have Perry Holden to thank for today's Cooperative Extension Service. In 1902, Holden came to Iowa State College in Ames to give a short course on corn.
