Wisconsin Cooperative Extension is celebrating its centennial anniversary this year a milestone that marks 100 years of providing university-based resources to all Wisconsin residents regardless of educational achievement.

In Jackson County, UW-Extension is marking 78 years as a county-wide resource that started in 1934 with one agent and has evolved into an operation with four agents and countless programs.

(Extensions) goal is to bring the research and resources of the university out to every county in the state, said Jackson County family living agent Luane Meyer, whos worked at the local office since 1990. What we want to do ... is to bring the tools and the information to individuals and families so that they have those tools to make decisions.

Wisconsin Cooperative Extension began in 1912 with the hire of its first county agent E.L. Luther in Oneida County. Two years later, U.S. Congress passed the Smith-Lever Act, which created Cooperative Extension Services and provided federal funds for extension activities in states.

The states 4-H program was established the same year, and Jackson Countys UW-Extension office began its work in 1934 with the hiring of M.R. Schuler as its first agriculture agent. Walter Bean began as a joint agriculture and 4-H agent two years later, home economist Lucille Herbert Hendrickson was hired 10 years later and additional staff and programs have been added in the following years.

Jackson Countys office now has Meyer, agriculture agent Trisha Wagner, 4-H youth development agent Monica Lobenstein, state nutrition educator Denise Lahodik, staff from federal volunteer programs and other support staff. It is funded in part through federal, state and county dollars, with the county providing office space and support staff.
