County Agent Work Advancing Across 33 Northern States
The USDA reports county agent work in 33 northern and western states expanding toward all counties within three years if the current rate continues. Of 1,616 agricultural counties, 1,239 have agents, with 80 percent of counties reached and 77 percent of farms in those counties per the 1920 census. The plan calls for permanent agriculture based on population, soil, labor, and marketing, with state programs built from county efforts and farmer input. The circular notes the shift to a national focus and the need for careful study of agricultural conditions to guide extension work.
