University of Florida Citrus County Extension is a branch of the University
of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) and the Florida
Cooperative Extension Service system. A unique publicly funded educational network that links the
resources of the USDA, the land-grant university system and local governments, funds the Citrus County
Extension Office.
In Florida, the University of Florida administers Cooperative Extension. The Citrus County Board of
County Commissioners provides financial support for local faculty, staff and county facilities.
The Cooperative Extension System was established by the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. Citrus County
Extension connects the public with the University of Florida/IFAS's knowledge, research, and
resources to address youth, family, community and agricultural needs. We are part of a nation wide
educational network of scientists and educators who help people solve problems and put knowledge
to use. We deliver programs needed by people throughout the state.
Citrus County Extension has access to the latest research and technology on more than 2,000
subjects of interest. The University's expertise is available to home owners, consumers, youth,
home builders, agricultural producers, gardeners, and the general public.
