Educational Programs for Commercial Agriculture and Agribusiness
Selected problems and opportunities inherent in educational work with large Agricultural and Agribusiness firms are examined in this paper. The problems arise largely because of the increasing size and complexity of today's large firms; the nature of their requests for assistance; and existing means of teaching the personnel of those firms. The opportunities lie in helping solve their problems in a manner which retains University contact with this important audience without disrupting academic budgets and faculty relationships.
Educational programs for commercial dairymen
Abstract The number of large dairy herds is increasing. Large herds include more audience groups than do traditional family-owned and operated herds. Every audience group or skill level requires a different educational package; developing these packages may require a different kind of research support that is customarily available. Working on specific problems of large herds is a prerequisite for developing educational programs. It also can add to academic ability to deal with emerging problems, provide training for students and current examples for teaching, increase access to firm-level data, and may afford an opportunity for additional funds. In this paper some innovate educational efforts by different professionals are reviewed; the changing character of Extension work is discussed; and some vehicles for doing user-funded work are compared, with special reference to problems associated with direct consulting.
