Wide open spaces.  Fresh air.  Privacy.  Beautiful trees and plants.  Room for pets.  A place all your own.  Acreage living can provide all these benefits and more. 

Fixing fences.  Caring for septic systems.  Planting windbreaks.  Removing snow.  Keeping deer and rabbits from eating your plants.  Acreage living means all these responsibilities too.

Do you know the facts about how to care for your acreage?  We have information here just for you.  Find research-based information on everything from trees to ticks and wells to windbreaks.

Our goal is to help you learn more about living in a rural area.  If you can't find information on a topic that concerns you, please let us know so we can research the topic and add it! Contact Becky Bray, ISU Scott County Extension Education Director with any questions.
