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.
