About
K-State Research and Extension
In Kansas, Extension personnel work on the Kansas State University campus and in 105 county offices. Extension programs are designed to meet the needs of the local community.
In addition to county agents, Kingman County Extension programs are supported by program coordinators and assistants, a dedicated staff of office professionals, and numerous volunteers. Educational efforts are guided by volunteer that serve on one of four Program Development Committees (PDC). The PDC collectively constitutes the Kingman County Extension Executive Council.
K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service. We are a partnership between Kansas State University and federal, state, and county government, with offices in every Kansas county. We conduct research through Kansas that is then shared by Extension agents and others on our Web sites and through numerous conferences, workshops, field days, publications, newsletters and more.
