Is Extension an Idea Whose Time Has Come--and Gone?

Extension and its funding are in deep trouble all across the country. Some influences on our situation are in the society and beyond Extension's control. Other influences are within Extension's control and include broadening our support base, controlling our own self-destructive behavior, making sure we are knowledge based, and collecting institutionally for the good things we do. If we cannot accomplish these we may be an organization whose time has come--and gone.
