An important part of the NRES Extension mission is to provide practical applications for producers, consumers, agribusinesses, and others who need accurate research-based unbiased information to support their endeavors. With that goal, we deliver the information and education you need where you live and work through the Internet, conferences, meetings, publications, and other media. In Extension centers across the state and in various county offices, educators are the bridge between Illinois citizens and our specialists on campus.
