Soils and Crops Extension is an extremely important mission of the Department. Extension Specialists translate research results into practical recommendations through the county extension offices for farmers, ranchers, agribusiness professionals, and others for use in their short- and long-range planning and operations. |

agricultural industry; some are extension
