Agriculture Resources
Agriculture is a leading force in the community and economy of Lake County. The Mission Valley's unique topography provides us with the ability to grow a diversity of crops. The majority of our valley supports seed potato and forage production while the Flathead Lakes create the climate for specialty crops like cherries. Whether you are a beef producer or a backyard gardener, we have resources for you! In order to support our residents The Lake County Extension office provides the following:
- Private Pesticide Applicator Licensing.
- Master Gardener Education.
- Nitrate Forage Testing.
- Pasture lease information.
- Plant variety recommendation.
- Well testing kits.
- Educational workshops and resources.
Are you looking for a specific training or resource we do not offer? Let us know! Our job at the Extension Office is to meet the communities needs. If enough residents are facing the same issue we can bring in a specialist to provide training and help address it!
