Our Office
Dear Extension visitors, We appreciate your interest in our programming. Currently, we are able to serve you by appointment only. Due to county budget cuts to the Extension support staff position, our office’s ability to be open to serve you has been impacted. If you’d like to engage with our staff on agriculture, 4-H, FoodWIse, and family programming, please contact the educators directly available at barron.extension.wisc.edu and make arrangements in advance.
