K-State Research and Extension has been a fixture in all 105 Kansas counties since 1914. Stafford County Research and Extension office, located in St. John, like most other counties has learned how to benefit from resources offered statewide… While not a new idea to Kansas, a combined Extension district is a new idea for Stafford County. It will allow Stafford County to team up with Edwards County and enable Extension agents to work differently and more efficiently than they have in the past. To date, 57 Kansas counties have combined to form 20 Extension districts in Kansas. Extension districts offer a more sustainable, efficient way of doing business in the future, Collins said. “We know you cannot apply yesterday’s methods today and still be in business tomorrow,” said Staub, Stafford County Extension’s agriculture agent. “We know by following the data and outcomes of other districts, new districting will allow us to be forward thinking and relevant in today’s world.”
