The Cerro Gordo County Extension Office is a part of a county, state, and federal partnership bringing the resources of Iowa State University and the USDA to you. Your local County Extension Office has research-based information and educational programs to help families, communities, business people, and youth make informed decisions.

We provide information and informal educational opportunities to adults and youth on a variety of topics relating to agriculture, business and industry, families, communities, and youth.
