Coordination of Livestock Extension Work

U. S. Department of Agriculture

Abstract

It may seem presumptuous for an agronomist to come before a group of livestock men to discuss the coordination of livestock extension work. The relationships between the agronomists and the animal husbandmen, however, are of necessity very close and neither group can build a worth-while program without the cooperation of the other. You will have to admit that if it was not for the agronomists the livestock folks would have a sorry time of it, or at least that livestock would not last very long if we did not have crops. I hope the fodder I offer you to-night will not be too dry to be palatable.

Growth of Extension Work

Whether or not I have a place on your program as an agronomist, as an extension worker I am intensely interested in the coordination and improvement of livestock extension work. The cooperative extension system under the Smith-Lever Act now includes about 4,500 persons, of whom half are county agricultural extension agents, and about 800 are extension specialists.
