Dear friends,

Welcome to Extension Matters! We will bring you the best success stories about Extension clients every Friday to brighten your weekend, and I’m excited to welcome you to our new format.

In the coming weeks, we’ll share more about a longtime Extension employee, Larry Alexander, who was recently inducted into the National 4-H Hall of Fame. We’ll show how partnerships with organizations can accomplish large-scale conservation initiatives.

Volunteers will explain how they’re serving and what they’re accomplishing. A Covington County cattle producer will explain how Extension helped him make his operation more profitable, and a truck crop producer will explain how he’s transitioned his business to focus on agritourism.

Our digital magazine will also continue featuring “What’s New,” photo essays, and Q&As, and we’ll deliver photos, videos, and other multimedia content. We’re always evaluating what we’re doing and how we’re doing it because we are here to support you—the people of Mississippi.

Hail State,

Dr. Angus L. Catchot

Director, MSU Extension Service
