Dear County Commissioners and Associated Friends of MU Extension:

At MU Extension, we know that citizens want their taxpayer-supported institutions to be responsive to their needs. Our distinct land-grant mission is to provide relevant, reliable and responsive education that improves Missourians’ lives, communities and the economy. We fulfill that mission by providing access to many research-based resources of the University of Missouri, in partnership with local and statewide organizations and groups.

Funded through the support of federal, state and county government; grants and contracts; fees for services; and private gifts, MU Extension leverages every dollar received to create expanded educational opportunities. Every dollar appropriated from county government is leveraged with $6 to create a significant return on investment.

MU Extension creates value for citizens – including those who do not participate directly in its programs. For example:

The MU Extension Fire and Rescue Training Institute teaches volunteer and career firefighters how to handle or mitigate fires and disasters, resulting in safer firefighters, citizens and communities. In FY2012, MU FRTI trained 17,096 fire and emergency service personnel through 217,000 instructional hours of training. Enrollees were from all of Missouri’s 114 counties.

This summer’s severe drought put MU Extension faculty in an active leadership role in helping Missourians deal with the crisis. MU Extension developed educational materials and programs and provided technical assistance for homeowners, businesses and the agricultural community. Social media, including Facebook, YouTube and websites, were used to inform citizens on such topics as animal nutrition, including nitrate poisoning; heat-related disabilities; government programs; wildfires; and more. Extension faculty also worked with Soil and Water Conservation Districts to implement drought cost-share practices, which allowed more than 11,000 landowners to apply for state assistance to access adequate water supplies for livestock and crop production.

These are just two examples of MU Extension’s public value impact. I’m sure you will find many other examples in your local community.

I want to thank you for your support of MU Extension as a critical team player in your locale. Your ideas for improving our partnership are always welcome.

Sincerely,

Michael D. OuartVice Provost and Director

Farm & Small Business Estate Planning Short Course

Summary: This course teaches participants the fundamentals of estate and business succession planning. Nine Lafayette County farm business owners participated in the course held in 2012. The business owners gained skills and confidence in creating successful estate and succession plans. Participants reported a significant increase in their knowledge of the probate process, wills, trusts, taxes and other estate planning issues.

Public Value: When you support MU Extension’s Farm & Small Business Estate Planning program, farmers and other small business owners are empowered with knowledge and tools that will help them preserve their businesses for generations to come. Preservation of family farms and businesses is important to rural communities and their economies as these businesses provide income and jobs for rural residents.

Women Landowners Ag Conference

Summary: On November 8, 2012, 84 people gathered at the Concordia Community Center in Concordia for the 13th annual Women Landowners Ag Conference. The purpose of this conference is to educate people about agriculture. The conference consists of various educational “breakout” sessions that feature presentations from agriculture experts. The 2012 breakout session topics included the following: business organization choices, financial statements, personal organization, economics of feeding cattle, cattle marketing programs, niche farming, farm recordkeeping software, farm timber, and conservation. Lafayette County MU Extension partners with the Lafayette, Johnson, and Ray County USDA Farm Service Agency offices to coordinate and implement the conference.

Public Value: When you support MU Extension’s Women Landowners Ag Conference, landowners are empowered to make better farm and land management decisions, which leads to higher farm incomes and improved environmental quality. Higher farm incomes and improved environmental quality benefit all Missourians by creating economic stability and a better environment in which to live.

Agricultural Lender Seminar

Summary: Lending institutions are very important in agriculture. Many farmers rely on banks to provide them with capital so that they can produce the food, feed, fiber, and fuel that society

4

demands. Therefore, it is important that agricultural lenders be educated about current trends in agriculture. MU Extension has an interest in ensuring that agricultural lenders are up to date with the latest University projections for agricultural production costs, commodity price trends, and ag risk management information. One Agricultural Lender Seminar was held in Lafayette County in 2012. Twenty-two agricultural lenders attended the seminar.

Public Value: When you support MU Extension’s Agricultural Lender Seminar, ag lenders learn information that improves their ability to serve their farmer-borrowers. Given the close interrelations between agriculture and banking, when relationships between farmers and bankers are cultivated, the security of the food supply is improved. A secure food supply benefits all Missourians by stabilizing the availability and price of food items.

Ray County Drought Education Effort Due to the historic “Drought of 2012” MU Extension faculty provided education to many livestock producers on how to deal with the drought through meetings and individual consultations. University of Missouri Extension did one meeting that answered questions and educated 11 Ray County participants associated with livestock and grain production on the effects of drought on forage availability, nutrient removal, herbicide carryover, weed control and livestock. Furthermore there were over 15 individual consultation in which livestock producers had forage tested to determine if nitrate levels were safe for livestock consumption and if not then specialist worked with farmers to find ways to reduce the toxicity of the prospective feedstuff.

Show Me Select Heifer Program. The Show Me Select program focuses on proper heifer development and management to minimize calving difficulty and optimize future productivity. At the fall 2012 sale 287 spring calving heifers sold for an average of $1953 per head, grossing $560,560 for West Central Missouri. Two producers from Ray County were: Jonathan Renfro and Dowell Carter.

FAMILY NUTRITION EDUCATION PROGRAM

University of Missouri Extension (UME) Family Nutrition Education Programs (FNEP) reached 832 low-income participants with nutrition education in Ray County during 2012. FNEP provides information on nutrition, food safety, and physical activity for lifelong health and fitness.

Nutrition education for youths provides information in kid-friendly terms and lessons with hands-on activities. Activities include opportunities for taste-testing healthy foods and practicing skills that lead to good health. Education for adults includes nutrition, food safety, physical activity, and food resource management.

Evaluation data collected across the entire state reflects the positive impacts that occur in every county with FNEP. Within FNEP are two key programs, each with its own system for evaluating impact: the Family Nutrition Program (FNP) and the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP).

For youths who participated in FNP, results summarized for the state revealed the these positive impacts: Three thousand six hundred thirty-five (3,635) teachers gave us feedback. 54 percent have participated in FNP for three or more years. 99% (3,582 teachers) reported one or more changes in students after FNP.

Local success stories demonstrate program impact.I have taught nutrition classes at Dear Elementary in Richmond MO for the past 5 years. This year while preparing the food for tasting for the protein lesson, refried beans with salsa, the teacher told her students that she started using the dip after tasting it last year during my classes. She continued by stating that she has replaced French onion dip for the bean and salsa dip for chips and vegetables. Two students that were not willing to taste before the teachers testimonial, then tried the dip. They found that they too liked it. Kathy Smith, NPA

I had given clients a lesson on Food Safety and I gave out handouts on how long we can keep foods in cabinet/fridge/freezer. I had a client come back and say that she was making a cold salad with mayonnaise and she thought she should check the expiration date and it was past due by 3 months. She was happy that we had just gone over the food safety lesson because the old mayonnaise could have made her family sick. She also said that she had a friend ask her how long she can keep a particular food and she was able to tell her since she had the handout! Dena Skinner, NPA

We look forward to strengthening our partnerships and serving more participants in the next year.

“Focus on Kids” classes are taught every other month (Feb, Apr, June, Aug, Oct & Dec) at the Ray County Extension Center. This is a court-mandated class for separated or divorcing parents and for parents doing modifications. In 2012, there were 52 parents who attended these classes. Parents from Ray County also attended “Focus on Kids” classes held in Platte County and Lafayette County this past year.

Northland Early Care and Education Council (NEEC) is a partnership between MU Extension and other Northland agencies and organizations. The purpose of this partnership is to offer professional development and subject matter training to early childhood educators. In 2012, NEEC sponsored (3) two-hour training seminars, with 122 participants. All of the child care seminars were held at North Kansas City Hospital. 7 participants were from Ray County.

De-Clutter Your Life – Getting Rid of Your Mid-Life ClutterLack of space is not the cause of clutter in most homes. Rather, disorganization results in 80% of the clutter. In the average home, getting rid of clutter eliminates 40% of the housework. This program provides solutions for eliminating clutter and creating functional, organized space. The program was adapted from FCS Specialists, Ohio State University Extension.

Marsha Alexander, Housing & Environmental Design Specialist presented on October 18, 2012 the program, at the Regional Family & Community Education (FCE) District Meeting, Platte Woods, MO to 30 attendees, including 9 Ray County FCE members. Additional program materials have been utilized in mail-out lessons to FCE volunteers in eight counties in the West Central & Northwest Missouri Regions.

Individual Client Housing Requests From 1/01/2012 to 12/31/2012 ten (10) Ray County client requests for a variety of indoor healthy home concerns have been received and answered by Marsha Alexander, Housing and Environmental Design Specialist. These requests have been focused around mold, bed bugs, and other insects and rodents that were concentrated indoors. The clients represented both homeowners and renters.

4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

2012 RAY COUNTY 4-H

A community of 1031 youths building life skills, engaging in science and connecting to community.

One of every five Missourians between the ages of 5 - 18 participated in a Missouri 4-H program in 2012.

4-H Connects Kids to College and a Higher Quality of LifeMissouri 4-H Members are twice more likely to have been on a college campus than their non-4-H peers. MU is by far the campus most frequently visited and 4-H is the second most reported reason to be on the MU Campus (Lerner, 2008). In 2011, MU Extension 4-H connected 8,500 young people age 8 to 18 to University of Missouri campuses and faculty. Being on a campus is a predictor of youth going on to higher education (Hoover, 2006)

27 Ray County young people ages 5-18 participating in 4-H events on the MU Campus These students are more likely to go to college and enjoy

o increased financial success for themselves and their offspringo be better consumers o improve quality of life through more opportunities for leisure and hobbieso improve health for themselves and their children (Porter, 2003)o more likely to vote as adultso more likely to contribute to their community (Lerner, 2009; Zaff et al, 2003)

Youth who earn their earn bachelor’s degree, increase annual earnings by $2.01 million over their lifetime (Porter, 2003). If 70% of the Ray County members participating in 4-H events on the MU Campus go onto earning their Bachelors, 4-H would help young people earn $37.98 million more of lifetime earnings.

4-H Clubs4-H participants = 244

Eight Ray County 4-H clubs are located in the communities of Hardin, Lawson, Orrick & Richmond offer long-term educational experiences in which members learn life skills such as decision making,

public speaking and working with others.  Members learn by doing under the guidance of adult volunteers, who teach projects ranging from aerospace and arts to veterinary science and sport fishing.

Clubs also involve children and teens in community service, camping and educational trips.

4-H Special-Interest Programs4-H participants = 54*Ray County 4-H special-interest programs include conferences, distance learning programs, day camps and other educational activities, such as school-age care.  They often reach youths

with special needs, such as those living in group homes or youths who are physically or mentally challenged.

4-H School Programs4-H participants = 720*Ray County 4-H school enrichment programs are short-term educational

experiences that supplement learning in the classroom. Most are led by teachers or 4-H volunteers.  The most popular 4-H school program in Ray County is 4-H Embryology. *Duplicates not removed

4-H Volunteers4-H members supported by 159 youth and adult volunteers

Volunteers create, support and are part of the 4-H community.   Missouri 4-H volunteers responding to a survey report they contribute on average 100 hours per year. Valuing their time at $18.80 per hour, based

on average Missouri incomes, the contribution of 159 4-H volunteers in Ray County was worth more than $298,920.00 in 2012! More importantly, these adults serve as mentors for our youth helping them

transition into health adulthood, priceless.

Valued Community Leadership and Service---- Community service is integral to positive youth development programs. Missouri young people who are 4-H participants report significantly more leadership experiences and higher scores on internalizing the value of service that their non-4-H peers. 4-H members contribute hundreds of hours to community service.

What 4-H Means to Excelling 4-H Members: 4-H is a way to: have fun, express yourself, and also learn. 4-H teaches you responsibility. Through 4-H you learn communication skills that help prepare you for the future.4-H is a family affair. 4-H is a way for families to spend time together. 4-H helps you gain self-confidence through public speaking & officer roles. 4-H teaches you how to help others through community service activities. 4-H means having patience, determination and a willingness to get things accomplished. 4-H assists you in gaining leadership skills that will be used for the rest of my life. Through 4-H you make lots of lasting friendships with kids from all over the state of Missouri. 4-H gives you an opportunity to grow and try new things in a safe environment. 4-H accepts my mistakes and helps me learn from them.

CONTINUING EDUCATION

MU CONFERENCE OFFICEThe MU Conference Office (MUCO) was created in 1963 to provide high-quality, professional, full-service meeting management for a variety of noncredit educational programs, such as conferences, workshops & seminars. Whether a meeting is hosted on the MU campus, elsewhere in Missouri or anywhere in the world, the office's professional staff helps create the best learning environment for participants. For FY2012, MUCO registered 14,865 Missourians in MU Extension conferences. Participants attended local conferences on Agricultural Lending, Health Care Reform, teacher training & advancing renewables. For more, see muconf.missouri.edu

FIRE & RESCUE TRAINING INSTITUTEMU Extension’s Fire & Rescue Training Institute (MU FRTI) is charged with providing comprehensive continuing professional education & training to Missouri’s fire service & emergency response personnel. The institute has a direct impact on the well-being and protection of Missouri’s 23,600 firefighters and the 5.9 million citizens they serve. Courses prepare firefighters for medical emergencies, hazardous materials response, and disaster preparedness and mitigation, as well as fires. In FY 2012, MU FRTI trained firefighters representing all 114 Missouri counties for a total enrollment of 17,096 fire & emergency responders equating to more than 217,800 student instructional hours of training. For more information, see mufrti.org.

LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING INSTITUTEThe MU Extension Law Enforcement Training Institute (LETI) brings state-of-the-art, certified, professional training to law enforcement officers as well as continuing professional education to a wide spectrum of other criminal justice and public safety practitioners. Established in 1948, the institute has been the state’s recognized leader for more than 60 years in providing vital training and education services for Missouri’s 20,000 working officers.

MU NURSING OUTREACHMU Nursing Outreach (MUNO) is committed to providing high-quality, affordable and accessible professional development programs for Missouri’s nurses. With the half-life of nursing knowledge being less than five years, coupled with the complexities of patient care and health care delivery, it is crucial for professional nurses to have the latest, evidence-based knowledge and skills. MUNO serves a predominantly rural health care audience through face-to-face, web-based and telecommunication delivery methods. Nurses from 90 (79 percent) of Missouri’s 114 counties and the City of St. Louis attended continuing education programs in FY2012 sponsored by MU Extension. In FY 2012, 2,697 Missourians participated in a nursing outreach program and another 1,310 nurses were served through co-sponsored multidisciplinary programs. Participants rate the overall quality of their continuing education experience as 1.3 (4-point scale with 1 being the highest) and indicate they plan to change their clinical practices based on what they learned at MUNO programs. The office received $463,000 in competitive grants and contracts from external agencies during 2011-2012 and $1,794,000 during the last five years. In FY2012, 115 educational programs were held in Columbia. See: http://www.nursingoutreach.missouri.edu/.
