When
it comes to dealing with the problems of day-to-day living, N.C. State
University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences provides research-based
answers.
The college has experts on wide-ranging topics -- controlling household insects, protecting well water, managing a family budget or maintaining a septic system, for example. These specialists work hand-in-hand with agents in all 100 North Carolina counties and on the Cherokee Reservation to ensure that the state's people have access to information they need to improve the quality of their lives.
Reporters seeking answers to day-to-day questions that arise in and around the home can check with their county extension center, browse through the information linked at the left or contact the experts listed by subject below.
These experts can also be helpful when it comes to special questions and situations, such as those that arise in the wake of disasters. For a comprehensive list of faculty members who can help in times of disaster, see the Media and Agent Guide for Disaster Recovery Experts.
