In1914, the federal government passed the Smith-Lever Act which established a nationwide agricultural extension service. What is that service? The Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service mission is to educate, train, and support families while helping advance the state’s economy and agricultural industry. Each state has a ‘land grant college’ which posses the charge to conduct research in many different areas of industry pertinent to the state. Ours is the Oklahoma State University.

Or some would say, our extension office is the front door of the university to the county. 07/31/2024 11:00 PM
