while many universities, public and private, have i'm brasz braced an aggressive model in universities, ag extension often remains separate and a part from these broader efforts. competition from the private sector, federal funding, along with what i see as a rather ancillary view of needs of agriculture in rural communities has made extension a shrinking enterprise for most of the land grant universities. this is occurring at a time when agriculture and rural communities have needs that are quite substantial and well beyond the traditional capacity of the extension. poverty, the digital revolution, immigration, economic diversification, are just a few examples to change circumstances in these rural communities find themselves in. rural america is no longer synonymous with agriculture and universities that want to engage rural america that wish to bring their capacities need to bring all their capacities to rural america in their engagement efforts. the land grant commitment to access for industrial classes is no longer theirs alone. it is shared with community colleges, proprietary sc
