What is Purdue Extension? 

The Cooperative Extension Service is one of the nation's largest providers of scientific research-based information and education.

Purdue Extension is a service tailored to meet the needs of Indiana, needs we know firsthand. Our educators, specialists, and volunteers live and work in all 92 Indiana counties.

We provide information and expertise that's available in the form you want, when you want it. That's Purdue Extension, Indiana's home team advantage.
