Agriculture, Food, and Crops

Extension publications are written by scientists, researchers, professors, extension agents, and other individuals working for a university. Extension pubs may be webpages, flyers, brochures, articles, or "how to" guides. These publications are backed by quality scientific evidence, but they are meant for a broad audience. They often look more like magazines, with images and bright colors. Extension publications are designed to help disseminate scholarly knowledge in agriculture, engineering, technology, and the environment to farmers and practitioners around the state. They are a key part of agricultural and environmental research. Extension publications typically come from land-grant universities, such as the University of Delaware or Virginia Tech. Look for the .edu.

Extensions offices also host events and run programs to help disseminate agricultural knowledge. For local extension on the Eastern Shore, check out the resources at The University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
