Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service (OCES) links you directly to Oklahoma State University and the research-based information available through the land-grant university system. OCES provides practical answers, based on scientific finding, to questions about agriculture and the environment; family life, health and nutrition; and rural and economic development. Its educational programs are designed to enhance the quality of life for all Oklahomans-urban as well as rural.
Under the umbrella of the OCES there are four main disciplines: Agriculture, Community Development, 4-H & Youth Development and Family and Consumer Science.
In the FCS and 4-H/Youth program areas, programming is focused in one of three impact areas on a state level.
