AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES

The Cherokee County Extension Agriculture Agent worked collaboratively with Extension Agents in neighboring counties, and local farms to build the capacity of 53 individuals through home fruit production related trainings.

Home fruit and vegetable gardening is foundational to Extension’s role in communities across Georgia.? Since 2016 the Cherokee County Extension office averages 1500-2000 soil samples annually.? The single largest category (35%) for samples, is home fruit or vegetable planting.

Fruit gardening is often more challenging for hobbyists and homeowners.? The perennial nature of the plants require sound decisions be made prior to planting and maintenance be performed throughout the life of the plants.? A knowledge gap exists in critical elements such as variety selection, pruning, and pest management.

4-H AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

Cherokee County 4-H students were provided hands-on, experiential learning opportunities related to agriculture, natural resources and the environment. Students met monthly at different farms and agritourism facilities. Owners and staff gave tours and discussed agricultural careers. In a survey, 100% of youth stated the opportunity helped them realize the importance of agriculture in our community.?
