	Sowing the Seeds of Change: Informing Public Policy in the Economic Research Service of the USDA
		The second category of service is the development of secondary data and analysis, often presented in the form of indicators and accounts, such as those found in USDA Situation and Outlook reports.
		It is essential that USDA ensure that the supplier has an understanding of the policy context for research and information and apprise contractors of developments in policy over the lifetime of the award.

	Extension
		More generally, extension's role in WWI helped it expand its reputation as an educational entity to one that also emphasized service for individuals, organizations, and the Federal Government.
		One of the goals of eXtension is to develop a coordinated, Internet-based information system where customers will have round-the-clock access to trustworthy, balanced views of specialized information and education on a wide range of topics.
		The ability to provide content to eXtension is limited to individuals closely associated with the Cooperative Extension System (either those working at a land-grant institution U.S. government personnel affiliated with cooperative extension), or individuals in extension-related organizations working on projects with cooperative extension staff.

	Assisting Poland in Transition
		An Extension Service-USDA team, led by ES Administrator Myron Johnsrud, met in 1990 with key officials in Poland's Ministry of Agriculture, agricultural leaders from Rural Solidarity, the Sejm (Poland's Parliament), and the Church Agricultural Committee, as well as regional and local agriculturalists and private farmers.
		Poland's Extension system was held in low esteem because it had served the Party and government, favoring state farms over private farms in the provision of new technology and physical inputs.
		In terms of direct Extension programming, farm visits and consultations have greatly increased and local agribusinesses are becoming regular clients of the Agricultural Advisory Service.

	USDA - Cooperative State Research and Extension Service (CSREES) No Cost Extensions
		The USDA Cooperative State Research and Extension Service (CSREES) is concerned that recipients are not submitting requests for no-cost extensions within the time frame required by USDA.
		Current USDA policy requires recipients to submit requests for no-cost extensions to the USDA Authorized Departmental Officer (USDA Grants Officer) at least 30 days before the grant expires.
		Because UCR investigators submitted two requests for no-cost extensions after the grant periods had expired, USDA has asked us to caution Principal Investigators that "any future requests submitted after the expiration of the award may be denied by USDA unless extenuating circumstances of a very exceptional nature are presented."

	TAEX Basics by Greg Moses
		As part of the movement, a national network was established of Cooperative Extension Services that would combine the resources of federal, state, and county agencies to "extend" the latest scientific discoveries for the improvement of everyday life.
		Thus were born the "extension services," administered in Washington, D.C., by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with state headquarters established in nearly every case upon traditional white campuses in the land grant network, and home offices in nearly every county in the nation.
		Black county agents in Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas filed class action law suits that were nearly simultaneous and based around the same complaints--that the extension services were continuing to practice blatant segregation in the administration of their duties.
