Title: Extension Specialist
Specialty: Family Consumer Science
Geography: Southeast Area

Spotlight: My name is Abby Weber, and I am the Southeast Area Family and Consumer Science Specialist for 7 counties in the Southeast Region.  Agriculture is the major commodity in our small rural communities here on the plains, and with that comes the need for local community sustainability in our food systems.  Programs like Cottage Foods Certification, Master Food Safety Advisor, Food preservation workshops, and cooking with commodities are just a few of the things we do to help make this possible.  Participants of all ages learn about impact from the time they are producing their commodity to the time it is being consumed through these programming efforts.
