C. Agricultural Extension Service <br /> N.C. State and A&T State Universities <br /> and <br /> The Board of County Commissioners <br /> <br />The North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service was established <br />as a part of the School of Agriculture and Life Sciences of North <br />Carolina State University by Federal and State legislation for the <br />specific purpose of "extending" the educational service of the <br />University to the people of the State on subjects relating to <br />agriculture, home economics, 4-H and youth, and community and <br />natural resource development. The laws creating Extension were <br />specifically designed to ensure that the findings of research in <br />these areas were communicated to the people. Under the <br />Appropriations Act of 1972 funds were provided to the 1862 Land <br />Grant Universities to enhance the extension outreach of the 1890 <br />Universities, of which A & T State University is one. The Food and <br />Agriculture Act of 1977 stipulated that' these funds would be <br />appropriated directly to the 1890 Institutions and formalized the <br />Extension program as an official part of the School of Agriculture <br />at this institution. However, to provide effective coordination, <br />administrative contacts will be handled by the county and district <br />chairmen of North Carolina State University with appropriate <br />attention given to A & T State University personnel. <br /> <br />Legislation provided that Agricultural Extension work be a <br />partnership among three levels of government--Federal, State and <br />County. Extension Agents are officially appointed as members of the <br />U.S. Department of Agriculture and charged with carrying out <br />educational work of the department. Upon acceptance by the Board <br />of County Commissioners, they are also designated as field faculty <br />members of either North Carolina State University, with professional <br />rank, or A & T State University. <br /> <br />To assure that educational programs offered by Agricultural <br />Extension at both land-grant institutions meet the needs of local <br />clientele, it is important that both elected and appointed officials <br /> <br /> <br />
