State Extension Advancement Council

Overview

The national Cooperative Extension Service engages citizens to improve economic development and quality of life by delivering research-based information in 4-H Youth Development, Agronomy, Forestry and Wildlife, Livestock and Forages, Agribusiness, Food and Nutrition, Horticulture and Water Resources. South Carolina Cooperative Extension is based at the state's two land-grant institutions — Clemson University and South Carolina State University.

Feedback from the general public is essential to achieving the Extension mission and the State Extension Advancement Council has been organized to receive that feedback.
