SDSU Extension is South Dakota’s source of un-biased, vetted, and relevant new knowledge generated from research. As a cornerstone of SDSU’s land-grant university mission, SDSU Extension empowers citizens to be more competitive in a growing global economy through education and technical training or assistance.

Our purpose is to foster a learning community environment that empowers citizens to advocate for sustainable change that will strengthen agriculture, natural resources, youth, families, and the communities of South Dakota. In pursuit of this purpose, several core values support the mission of SDSU Extension and provide the foundation for the organization. They include:

• A defined public value
• A learning community focus
• Prioritized effort
• Access for all citizens
• A setting that is inclusive, collaborative, and sustainable
• A culture that embraces change
  

We accomplish our outreach mission by prioritizing efforts in the following program areas:

• Competitive Crop Systems
• Competitive Livestock Systems
• 4-H Youth Development
• Community Development
• Food and Families
• Rural and Urban Initiatives

We actively seek partners who can help us accomplish what we cannot do alone. Our partners include state and federal agencies, peer education institutions, community based groups, non-profit organizations, agricultural commodity groups, and volunteers. The benefits of these partnerships are better service for citizens as well as efficient use of our state's precious and limited resources.
