About ISU Extension and Outreach: Cedar County

The Cedar County Extension Council, county staff and ISU Extension and Outreach staff work together to provide research-based learning opportunities for our citizens. Through this partnership, we carry Iowa State University’s land-grant mission across Cedar County.  Over the years we have been here to assist during times of war, natural disasters and economic changes along with the the good times. Cedar County Extension is available to every citizen of Cedar County. We can anticipate trends, build relationships, and catalyze opportunities because we are part of the ongoing life of our communities, committed to healthy people, healthy environments, and healthy economies.  Through this website you will be able to see what is available for you.

Cedar County programs are fulfilling that commitment:

• In only seven weeks, a child can learn how to stay away from alcohol and drugs.
• Starting conversations that lead to farm business transitions from one generation to the next is hard – we help get them started.
• Schools and restaurants are trained to safely prepare nutritious foods.
• Foods grown and marketed locally boost the local economy and fulfill consumer demands
• Farmers depend on us for the latest crop production research.

We can anticipate trends, build relationships, and catalyze opportunities because we are part of the ongoing life of our communities, committed to healthy people, healthy environments, and healthy economies.
