The United States Department of Agriculture - Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Services have offices in every U.S. state and territory. Cooperative extensions specialize in providing people with research-based knowledge to help better understand all aspects of growing things. Whether you want to have your soil tested, become a Master Gardener, learn more about insects, or take part in the many community oriented programs, cooperative extensions provide an invaluable service.
The best thing about cooperative extensions is the sharing of knowledge by highly educated public servants who have nothing to sell you and only your best interests in mind. They are the antidote to the over-selling and over-use of the dizzying array of products found at your local big box store.
