The Umatilla County Extension Service is your link to Oregon State University. We provide life long learning opportunities in the areas of youth development and agriculture.

Our county agents are Oregon State University faculty members who extend the University to the Umatilla County community through meetings, workshops, 4-H Youth Programs, short courses, tours, newsletters and one-on-one consultations. We also keep the University informed about the research and informational needs of the community.
