ADAIR COUNTY ISU EXTENSION
REACHES A MILESTONE -
100 YEARS!
In 1903, a group of Sioux County farmers cooperated with Iowa State University to establish the "extension idea" - taking the land- grant college to the people. In 2003, Iowa State University celebrated 100 years of ISU Extension and Outreach helping Iowans become their best. Beginning in 2012, and over the next several years, county extension offices throughout the state will celebrate their 100 year milestones of organized extension work and the hiring of their first county agents. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will continue to carry Iowa State’s land-grant mission beyond campus, to be the university that best serves the citizens of Iowa over the next 100 years and beyond. We serve as a 99-county campus, connecting the needs of Iowans with Iowa State University research and resources. We provide education and partnerships designed to solve today’s problems and prepare for the future.

It’s only February, but my tulips are coming up. What should I do?
Tulips, daffodils and other spring-flowering bulbs normally begin emerging from in March or early April in Iowa. However, mild winter weather can encourage premature growth. The danger is not as great as it seems. The foliage of tulips, daffodils, and other spring bulbs can tolerate cold temperatures. Return to normal winter weather delays further growth. A blanket of snow is especially helpful. The snow discourages additional growth. For more information contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or [email protected].
