Kansas State University extension agencies may face an $800000 budget cut affecting program support and reducing the number of specialists. Franklin County Extension Director Darren Hibdon notes local funding remains stable, but statewide reductions could strain access to information and long term staffing at K State. Cholick says cuts threaten open posts across 105 counties, potentially harming extension programs and research statewide.
