They serve a variety of clientele including full-time farmers, part-time and hobby and life-style farmers, community organizations, non-profits, schools, tribal entities, small businesses, local governments, and the general public. Our niche is our connection to research-based information and our non-biased approach to helping people make informed decisions.

4 Some examples of how UW-Extension's supports Sawyer County small businesses, community organizations, schools, families, tribal entities and local governments 1. Connecting people to people, and promoting local resources and services to help local residents and businesses address needs and concerns.

Helping farmers and local food entrepreneurs participate in the local food economy with information and business counseling on: Production practices, direct marketing, Farmers Markets, agri-tourism, licensing and regulations, and food safety 3. Helping farmers and livestock producers make informed decisions on ways to improve their profitability through: Business planning, farm succession, dairy modernitization, livestock facilities improvements, pasture and forage management 4. By training volunteers and other community groups to sharing their knowledge and research-based information with others. Master Gardener Volunteers, peer-to-peer learning groups/networks such as Northwest Graziers Network 5. Helping farmers understand best management practices to reduce and minimize impacts on the environment through: Nutrient management education, soil testing, and other BMP in crop and livestock production 6. Provide training to help keep farm workers and youth safe when working on farms or in rural areas. Pesticide Applicator Training and Tractor and Machinery Safety Training 7. Conducting on-farm research and demonstrations to help farmers and producers explore new methods and to help validate and/or add to our current understanding.

8 ~Ension University of Wisconsin-Extension Sawyer County Economic Development and UW-Extension Committee Hayward, Wisconsin June 5, 2017 I would like to thank the Economic Development and Extension Committee, the Sawyer County Board, the County Administrator, and past Committees, Boards and Administrators, as well as the people of Sawyer County for the opportunity to serve as an Extension Agriculture Agent for the past thirteen years. I would especially like to thank my Extension colleagues from the University and LCO, and the many collaborative institutions that have made my work more productive. Sawyer Extension has been a close-knit group as long as I have been here. The work has been very rewarding to me and hopefully to the farm community served. This is the best job I have ever had. I have made many friends in the County and enjoyed many of the county's amenities. As you may know, I plan to retire on July 4. I also plan to continue living at my residence in Spooner. You may see me at future dairy breakfasts and fairs. I plan to stay somewhat active with the grazing community, but my priority will be writing and international work. I would not rule out occasional paid consulting. Sorry, don't ask me to run for any office or join clubs. Too many of my retired professional colleagues seem to be working harder than when they were employed. Richard Otto Wiegand UW-Extension Ag Agent Sawyer, Washburn and Burnett Counties
