I am Extension. I am Extension.
 
 
 
I'm Dana Martin
I've been with Extension for thirteen
years and I'm staff chair
in the Deschutes County office and my program area is Small Farms
I come from a rural background
I grew up in a small farming community
and that's where my heart is
I love... the land
I love the animals
I love the rural people
 
It's... just kinda putting my passion
and
what I've learned through the years
to use and that's really
really satisfying... position
Extension is such an incredible program...
because it reaches
people where they live
and it touches all aspects of what's
important in people's lives
... you know we're talking about 4-H youth development and the youth
and helping them develop skills that
that they'll be able to use the rest
their lives and
you're talking about families who are learning
about nutrition, food preservation
you have your gardeners with... wanting to grow food
and your agriculture, which you know is...
people needing to make a livelihood
and produced food for everyone to eat, so
This is what is so
...so amazing about Extension
Is that it touches
all these aspects of
what's important in communities and what is
important in families
and just going directly to the people
