Plan Now to Preserve Your Garden’s Bounty
Preserving food from your garden or orchard can be a good way to combat the rising prices of food at the grocery store, but be sure to follow research-tested recipes for safe, high quality food that your family will enjoy.
The 8 publications that are part of the Wisconsin Safe Food Preservation series have been revised and expanded to match the 2008 USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning. For more information please read the guide. |

Green County Barn Quilts Website Active!
Quilts, always a beloved symbol of comfort, family, heritage and community will provide a warm invitation to the rural countryside of Green County. Vibrant quilt patterns will be painted on pre-built 8’x8’ wooden squares. Each quilt will be painted by a team of volunteers and will require a willing barn owner to donate hanging space on their building. Making these quilt squares will allow volunteer groups from churches, schools, 4-H, scouting, HCE, and other community service groups and even families the opportunity to create and paint their own quilt square as a group project.

Farm Technology Days Grants Available
The Green County Farm Technology Days Executive Committee is pleased to announce that it will offer grants to area non-profit and public organizations, with preference given to those based in Green County. This grant program is being provided through the remaining proceeds from the 2007 show that was hosted by Green County last fall. The grants will be made available on an annual basis for up to three years, and will be selected by members of the Green County Farm Technology Days Executive Committee.
The main purpose of these grants are to provide funding for the development of new programs or to enhance existing projects related to creating community and consumer awareness as to the importance and impact of agriculture. This would include the development of agriculture educational and leadership experiences for youth and adults in Green County.

MISSION
With an office in each Wisconsin county, Cooperative Extension
develops practical educational programs tailored to local needs
and based on university knowledge and research. County-based
Extension educators are University of Wisconsin faculty and staff
who are experts in agriculture and agribusiness, community and
economic development, natural resources, family living and youth
development. Extension county-based faculty and staff live and
work with the people they serve in communities across the state.
Extension specialists work on UW System campuses where they access
current research and knowledge. Collaboration between county
and campus faculty is the hallmark of Cooperative Extension in
Wisconsin.
