Message from the District Director

It’s a privilege to once again highlight the impact of our ongoing collaboration between Isabella County and Michigan State University (MSU) Extension. Thanks to your continued partnership, our team has been able to deliver meaningful, research-backed programs that benefit youth, families, entrepreneurs and the broader community of Isabella County.

Throughout 2024, MSU Extension staff have worked diligently to promote healthier lifestyles, support local and emerging businesses, foster youth leadership and career readiness, and assist farmers with business planning, pest management, crop production, and mental health resources. Our team members are deeply embedded in the community! We live here, work here, and are ready to respond to the emerging needs of our neighbors.

This progress wouldn’t be possible without your support. On behalf of the MSU Extension team serving Isabella County, thank you for helping us make a difference. We’re excited about the year ahead and hope to see you at one of our upcoming programs or events.
