Have you ever been interested in learning more about local farm operations? Join Illinois Extension for the Clinton County Farm Stroll for hands-on tours of local Clinton County Farms.

Come visit our participating farms to learn more about the daily operations of apple orchards, pumpkin patches, grain farms, dairy farms, and a meat-producing farms and appreciate the hard work that goes into food production.

At the end of each tour, the participants can receive a stamp on their "passport" showing they stopped by that farm. If your passport is full of stamps from all 4 farms, they can drop it off at the Clinton County office July 27-31 to receive a prize!

We had an awesome time at our drone workshop today at Kaskaskia College! These young pilots learned all about drones—from how they work and drone safety to the many ways they’re used, especially in agriculture 🌱

Participants got hands-on experience flying several different drone models, building their skills and confidence as they took to the skies. It was so fun watching them learn, explore, and try something new!

And of course… we wrapped up a great morning with pizza 🍕😄

Thanks to everyone who joined us—we loved seeing these kids go from fields to flight! ✨🚁

This past Saturday marked the final Rod N Reel Fishing Club meeting of the year, and it was a great one! The kids had an awesome time out at Whispering Pines, reeling in fun and making memories along the way.

We want to give a huge thank you to our amazing leaders, Craig and Jeff, for all the time, effort, and dedication they poured into this club. Because of them, the kids had a fantastic experience from start to finish.

We’re already looking forward to casting lines again next spring!
