Welcome to Thomas County Extension

Welcome to Thomas County! Your local K-State Research and Extension office is a valuable resource for finding the information you need. Extension programs present useful information related to health, nutrition, crops, livestock, home and family, 4-H and youth development, and much more.

Our philosophy is to help people help themselves by taking the research conducted at the university to where people live, work, play, develop, lead, and grow. We work at being responsive to the needs of the people by focusing our resources on providing quality information, education, and problem-solving programs for real life concerns to Thomas County residents. We are happy to serve you!

Thank you to our generous sponsors Colby Ag, Outdoor Bank, Farm Implement and Supply, and Western Sprinklers.
