K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service. We are a partnership between Kansas State University and federal, state, and county government, with offices in every Kansas county. Not a Douglas County, KS resident?

We have a new look and are eager to show you around! We changed a few things but everything is still here. Please see our brief video tour below of our new website layout.
