The Delta Junction district serves an area centered on the junction of the Alaska Highway and the Richardson Highway in Interior Alaska. This area includes the communities of Delta Junction, Big Delta, Delta Clearwater, Fort Greely and Dry Creek. Approximately 5,100 people live in the area, about a quarter of whom are transient workers in the U.S. armed forces or seasonal workers.
Delta is one of Alaska’s agricultural centers, with oats, barley and hay as the major crops. Outreach includes programs in agriculture and horticulture; integrated pest management; and health, home and family development.

In Alaska, fishing for dinner is a favorite summer activity. If your river or ocean adventure nets you more than just one dinner, you should be prepared to preserve your harvest for enjoyment long after summer ends. In this webinar, Leslie Shallcross, health, home and family development agent with the UAF Cooperative Extension Service, will demonstrate how to properly preserve your catch so you can fill your pantry or freezer with safe, high-quality and delicious fish. She will cover preserving your fish catch through canning, smoking or freezing.
