Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has released Real Impact 2023 Report. This brief report shares a few examples of ISU Extension and Outreach creating real impact in Iowa, including these:
- 4-H club youth in Louisa County determined how installing solar panels could help their school district use less coal-generated electricity – and save nearly $1.5 million.
- Farmers who participated in Planter University have estimated they can save $5 per acre because they learned how to evaluate planting performance and improve planter efficiency for greater success and increased profits.
- Local decision makers from 54 communities have learned how to identify, assess and meet their unique housing needs. Creston constructed eight apartments and improved 10 existing housing units. Keokuk secured $1.2 million in grants. Emmetsburg’s project could create more than $13 million in economic impact.
