Thanks for your reply. What do you mean by "Extension"?
Hello PB,
When I said “Extension” I was referring to the Cooperative Extension Service of the USDA. My specific position is a Beef Specialist in which I spend the bulk of my time providing research-based information to beef producers for the state of Kansas as well producers who contact me outside state lines. There are Land Grant Universities in each of the 50 states charged with the dissemination of information to a variety of clientele. FYI, the Cooperative Extension Service was created by the Smith Lever Act in 1914.
Hope this helps.
