36. The following analysis is from Buttel 2001.
37. Lacy 2000.
38. Röling 1988.
39. Peters (1996) describes the historical and contemporary tensions in exten-
sion programs very well. For an older account, see McConnell 1959. There has
been surprisingly little work done on the sociology of agricultural extension in
the US, and little of what has been done adopts a critical perspective.
40. Fiske (1979) and Scheuring et al. (1995) described the “Farmers' Institutes”
in California at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the
twentieth.
41. Hassanein 1999, p. 13.
42. See Buttel et al. 1990.
43. From p. 113 of the report, quoted on p. 25 of Peters 1996.
44. This is reflected in a Memorandum of Understanding, sent out by the USDA
to the LGUs, that required 75 percent of the national funds to be used for Knapp-
type demonstration work (Peters 1996).
45. Peters 1996, p. 22.
46. McDowell 2001.
47. See Warner 2006.
48. For more on consultant-led partnerships, see Glades Crop Care 2003 and
chapter 7 of NRC 1989.
49. See Sharp et al. 2000.
50. See Stevenson et al. 1994.
51. Identified in appendix 1 to Hassanein 1999.
52. On the Vermont, Maine, Iowa, and Wisconsin sustainable agriculture
programs, see Carroll 2005.
53. On the origins of SAREP, see Scheuring et al. 1995, pp. 217-219.
54. The Council for Agriculture Science and Technology (1990) assembled
dozens of reviews by LGU scientists. They reflect the diversity of responses with-
in this scientific community. Kloppenburg (1991) read Alternative Agriculture
and argued that a different approach to scientific knowledge generation was
necessary to achieve the report's goals.
55. National Research Council 1993. Integrated approaches to agricultural pro-
duction and environmental protection became popular in UK and in Europe at
roughly the same time. See El Titi 1992, Morris 1999, and Morris and Winter
2000.
56. National Research Council 1993, pp. 107-108.
