Extension Council

Every county in Iowa has an Extension Council who provides, through a unique partnership with Iowa State University and other federal and state organizations, research-based, unbiased information and education to help county citizens make better decisions. Dallas County Extension Council members are elected by the voters of the county and serve four year terms. They oversee the planning, preparation, marketing and delivery of the extension educational programs.
