Extract

Rural development research and extension activities directly impact approximately 100 million U.S. farm and nonfarm residents; whereas, commercial agricultural programs directly impact about 6 million farm residents (U.S. Department of Commerce, b). Based on this fact, it is difficult to understand why rural development research and extension programs are often listed last when priorities for funding are discussed.
