Administrative Assistance in Attacking the Problem

Extension Service, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama

ABSTRACT

Information, inspiration, leadership, and instruction are primary functions of an Extension dairy specialist. Before he can prepare information, he must define the problem as to the specific needs as they relate to the total dairy program.

Since Extension is the educational arm of the University, administrators felt that a university-wide approach with the help of allied groups in agriculture and industry would be more effective in assisting county Extension agents. In March, 1960, under the leadership of Dr. E. T. York, Jr., then director of the Alabama Extension Service, a joint policy was developed whereby each related group of the University could be brought into organized operation on problems and programs.

Following the development of this joint policy, a self-study committee was organized to review and evaluate the Extension dairy program. After several weeks of study, this committee assisted the group in determining the most pressing problems in dairying.

This graph gives the main steps in developing an Extension program on a state basis with administrative assistance.
