Agricultural extension work over 140 years old study says
Alfred True, a specialist in state relation work with the USDA, traces extension work to the 1850s farmers institutes and earlier agricultural societies. He notes Kansas began state-funded extension in 1868, intensified 1880–1915, and the 1915 Smith Lever act spurred cooperative efforts. Iowa’s Seaman A. Knapp helped southern expansion and county agent work emerged in farm management offices.

Cowboys Embrace Dairying Venture Tied to Hereford Creamery
Tracr Man reports on Hereford Texas cowboys once laughing at dairying now backing a planned Hereford creamery. N O Bendickson, former creamery manager, notes cowboys dubbed early dairy pioneers Milkmaid and recalls horse drawn dairy cow transport. Despite ridicule and slow progress, local ranchers diversify, Jerseys rule dairy herds, and cotton seed replaces soy in rations. The Hereford chamber sponsors and stock sales fund a cooperative creamery, with hotel construction delaying progress but expected eventual operation.
