Monroe County Agriculture Program

The Monroe County Cooperative Extension Service is committed to providing University of Arkansas based research date to the growers to help them improve their crop yields and profitability. We provide a wide variety of programs and activities to insure this information is distributed in a timely manner. We hold grower meetings, conduct direct mailings and use mass media to distribute information quickly as possible. We provide services such as crop demonstrations, Flag the Technology, and soil and plant sample analysis to aid growers in production decisions.
