County Approves Funding For Extension Office

Wabash County Commissioners have approved their $62,000 in support to the U of I Extension Service. At last Monday’s county board meeting, Tara Buerster said Wabash County currently has 121 4-H members, 13 leaders, and 5 clubs. Buerster said 4-H leader Logan Kennard recently submitted his resignation and will be moving to Ohio. She also said the extension office will be hiring a SNAP educator to oversee 5 area counties. The $62,000 in county support is the same as the last couple of years.
