A Blueprint for Designing a Successful Extension Program: Advice from Some Master Builders

Kim B. Anderson

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1982, vol. 14, issue 1, 23-26

Abstract: The focus of the typical Ph.D. program in agricultural economics is on research. Little emphasis is placed on teaching, and, in most cases, there is no emphasis on extension, thus placing the new extension specialist in a difficult starting position. Even so, the current order or priorities may be appropriate, because an extension specialist must first understand economic theory and then be a capable researcher and teacher to work effectively in an extension program (Hildreth and Armbruster, p. 857).
