Welcome to the Polk County Office, Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service

We are part of the University of Arkansas System Cooperative Extension Service's statewide network and the U of A System's Division of Agriculture.

Whether it's agriculture, 4-H, family and consumer science, or community development, our Polk County office is at your service.

Who We Serve

We serve the people of Mena, Hatfield, Cove, Wickes, and other Polk County towns by providing free non-biased, research-based advice for farmers and families.

We can help you with 4-H youth development, soil testing, insecticide recommendations, weed id, produce safety, animals and forages, money management, parenting, food safety and preservation, nutrition, and so much more!
