Excerpt from A Guide to Extensive Testing on Farms
Since World War II the concept of technical service to farmers as a tool for agricultural progress has grown rapidly in acceptance through out the world. Programs to give this type of service are being set up at an unprecedented rate. Naturally these programs look to older ones for guidance.
The older technical-service programs generally Operate through two well-recognized organizational entities: An experiment station and an extension service. In its simplest form, the experiment station is a place at which experiments are conducted to develop better practices for farms, and the extension service is a group of advisers who help farmers adopt these practices.
