Linking Extension with Migrant Clients

The typical Extension agent already performs a time-consuming balancing act between heeding the concerns of management directives and dealing with traditional local population needs.Because of these pressures, there may be resistance to new populations and their nontraditional needs.When a potential special population presents a variety of problems and cultural and language barriers as well, the group may be passed over when the difficulties are seen as insurmountable.The Hispanic migrants may be one such group in your area.
