When the people speak, Extension listens. It's been that way since
the Smith-Lever Act established the Cooperative Extension Service
as the educational branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
over 80 years ago.
The mission of the Agricultural Economics Extension Program is
to provide leadership for developing, delivering, and evaluating
current and relevant agricultural economics and resource development
educational programs for decision makers. Our vision is for Tennesseans
to improve their knowledge, understanding, and application of economics
to agricultural and rural issues.
Extension assists people to:
- Identify their needs, problems and opportunities
- Evaluate their resources
- Become familiar with specific methods of overcoming their problems
- Analyze alternative solutions to their problems
- Decide on the most promising course of action based on their
own desires, resources and abilities
- Take Action!
Programs are constantly evaluated, revised and updated to provide
the latest research information to help people.
