You have a lot of sources of information available to you so why chose Penn State Extension? Penn State Extension focuses on providing science-based information. Most information is developed after years of research run by Pennsylvania State University or other scientists. Scientists work closely with the agriculture community to determine which research questions to study. These scientists are not paid to promote any products, equipment, or services. We do not work on commissions and our salaries are not dependent on selling any agriculture product, equipment, or service to anyone. What this means is that Penn State Extension provides unbiased information you can trust.

Two ways to connect to Penn State Extension are through the internet at our website and through our network of Extension Educators.
