NEAFCS - Milestones That Mark Our 50th Year
The 1890 Colleges and early youth work up to 1910 and 1912 saw "Lady Assistants" as they were sometimes called, working with tomato clubs, canning clubs, cooking schools and other projects. The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 led to cooperative work between Land Grant Colleges and the United State Department of Agriculture. The Act also led to the general demand to carry information and result of discoveries to rural people in the field and in the home.
Various influences directed leaders in Congress to provide an effective means for reaching and teaching rural people. Bradford Knapp, A.C. True, W.S. Spillman, and C.B. Smith developed the Memorandum of Understanding that created the Cooperative Extension Service at each of our Land Grant institutions. This document, the first of its kind in the nation, is still held today as a sacred cooperative agreement between the Land Grant Colleges of the nation and USDA. During the 70 years, many events have occurred to question the fundamental tenets of this memorandum, But Extension offices of the state and USDA point to this understanding as an "Extension Bible," for carrying forward the Cooperative Extension Education System.
