The mission of Extension in Mills County is to bring research-based educational programs to the people of the county without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, handicap or national origin.
Mills County was created and organized in 1887 from parts of Brown, Comanche, Hamilton and Lampasas counties and named in honor of John T. Mills, a district judge during the days of the Republic of Texas. Mills County is traditionally founded in production agriculture with total cash receipts from agricultural enterprises ranging from $27-29 million. The primary agricultural enterprises ranked in order of importance include: beef cattle (39%), forage crops (19%), sheep and goats (14%), pecans (7%), small grains (5%), and recreation (<1%). Mills County has strong 4-H and Family Consumer Science programs. The FCS program focuses on food and nutrition, health and safety issues, family resource management, child develpment and indoor air quality. The County 4-H program strives to promote positive character development in youth. 4-H continues to offer opportunities for young to compete at local, district and state level activities such as public speaking, photography, show animals, foods, clothing and shooting sports. |
