Welcome to the

River Valley District

 

In north central Kansas, we cover Clay, Cloud, Republic and Washington Counties.  The Republican River runs through the heart of the district affecting the nature of many of our agricultural practices.  The Little Blue River runs through the eastern part of the District, and the Solomon River just clips the southwest corner. 

 

Our programs include, 4-H and Youth Development, Crops and Livestock, Health and Nutrition, Home and Family, and Lawn and Garden area.
