The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension of Cochise County has been serving area residents since 1914 through educational programs. We represent a unique three way partnership of the United States Department of Agriculture, the University of Arizona and Cochise County to provide local citizens access to the Land Grant University System. Our roots in communities help us understand local needs and put university expertise and connections where they can make a difference – improving lives and communities.

Because many people are concerned about GMOs (genetically modified organisms – crop seeds, in this case), Ag Day Chairman Claire Owen invited Silvertooth to discuss how our food is being modified.
