About Polk County Extension

Knowledge from Iowa State University has been available to Polk County citizens since 1916.  Throughout the years we've assisted citizens during times of war, natural disasters and economic downturns as well as the good times. 

For more historical prespective view these history pages.

Today Extension programs reach out to every segment of our county. This web site showcases our programs and lets you know how you can participate.
