Fall and Winter Watering
4-H & Youth Development - Jacie Milius, Extension Educator
Achievement Day Celebration
We value the importance of public recognition of these youth during a formal program but due to rising cases of COVID-19 in Gage County, we feel that we can not safely gather in-person. We decided to partner with KWBE to broadcast the Achievement Program. More details about this to come.
Food, Nutrition & Health - Tara Dunker, Extension Educator
Tips for better fridge and freezer use
Contrary to popular belief, your fridge and freezer do not destroy harmful germs on food.
The lower temperatures of the fridge do slow their growth.
However, perishable food will continue to degrade in the fridge, and any germs present prior to freezing will begin to grow again when thawed.
This is why controlling time and temperature is so important to food safety and quality.
Are you getting enough protein?
Diet culture may have you asking, am I getting enough protein? And I'm here to reassure you that the answer is almost always yes.
