Agriculture in Delaware generates more than $1 billion of cash receipts from 2,300 farms on 530,000 acres. Cooperative Extension supports this vital component of the state economy through education, applied research, and outreach.
Farmers, homeowners, food processors, agri-business, seed and biotechnology companies, food distributors, power companies, feed suppliers, garden centers, nursery and sod producers all utilize Extension programs.
Extension professionals at UD operate in a variety of thematic programs. Within these programs, agents and specialists offer guidance, training, events, and publications to our state and regional constituents.
