The collection of the Annual Reports of the County Extension Agent in Dodge County, Minnesota spans the years 1923 to 1982. The reports, now housed in the Extension Regional Office in Rochester, Minnesota, highlight the work of Extension staff in agricultural production and management, family consumer sciences, and 4-H youth development. They include names of families involved in extension programs, photographs of agricultural production efforts, maps, and summaries of educational programs conducted by Dodge County Extension staff. The collection offers a unique perspective on rural living and changes in agricultural production practices during a 59-year period.
