  • multiplies local dollars by bringing state, federal, and grant funds into the community. 
  • inspires young people, community members, and agricultural producers to increased stewardship of the environment. 
  • helps people with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and osteoporosis, to live healthier lives and manage their diseases, thereby reducing demands on local health-care resources. 
  • prepares individuals, families, and business owners with knowledge, plans, and tactics to mitigate the impact of emergencies and natural disasters.
