Today Archie speaks with Laura Hendrix, the Interim Associate Department Head of Family and Consumer Sciences for the Division of Agriculture here in Arkansas.

 Many of us are familiar with the ag-related services offered by your county extension offices, but that isn’t all that is available. Dr. Hendrix shares about the family and consumer science resources offered there. Topics include nutrition, food safety, health, personal well-being, stress management, personal finance, consumer economics, and more.

 In Arkansas you can locate your county’s extension office at UADA.edu. In other states, search your state name + extension office.

 Dr. Hendrix also shared about Annie’s Project. This national non-profit educates and empowers women in agriculture through a series of courses on risk-management and other topics. To find out more, enroll in courses, or sponsor this program, contact your local extension agent.  You can also go to the Annie’s Project website.
