Programming Strictly for

Results

Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) in

Ohio and the surrounding world essentially

are the basis of everyday living. Each and

everyone of these resources must be

maintained to ensure that they remain free of

anything that could pose a potential threat,

especially in regards to human health.

Central State University Extension is moving

ahead to address any issue threatening

Ohio’s Agriculture and its Natural Resources

to enhance every aspect of Agriculture and

Natural Resources around the state.
