This research used whole-network survey analysis applying the social network approach, a conceptual model for explaining the communication of new ideas and information within an organizational network. Organizational networks are important structural elements of organizational systems and key to understanding diffusion of new programs within institutional organizations, such as the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. Previous diffusion studies by Extension scholars have concentrated on the classic diffusion model of agricultural technology innovations with individual farmer adopters. Adoption of new programs and ideas is the process by which individuals in a social system decide to use the communicated new idea, program, and/or technology. This conceptual model describes the stages of diffusion through the attributes of the clientele adopters. The social network conceptual model describes diffusion through communication channels. Identified opinion leaders are matched with those who nominate them or closely identify with them in a diffusion network perspective to accelerate the diffusion process through an optimal pairing of network member with influencers. Data were collected from the FCS Extension Agent network in an online survey \"FCS Health Information Communication Network Survey\" from July 1, 2011 - July 30, 2011. Participants were asked to rate each of their co-workers in their own district, and in each of the other six districts, on how often they go to each person directly for health education information. Hypothesis testing supports the use of opinion leaders, bridges and communication structures within the social network structure of FCS agents for diffusing health programming within the Cooperative Extension Service.

This study, therefore, focused on exploring participation in African American farmer programs through the single case of Virginia Cooperative Extensionś Small Farm Outreach and Technical Assistance Program. This program, which is housed at Virginia State University, aims to support minority farmers who have limited access to benefits from USDA programs. Historically, limited resource farmers have been challenged to gain full access to programs offered by Cooperative Extension. Using a qualitative case study design, individual interviews were conducted with African American farmers, extension specialists, small farm agents, and the program administrators. Two focus groups were conducted with the Small Farm Program agents and another with African American farmers that participated in the program. A review of the findings indicated that the Small Farm Outreach and Technical Assistance at Virginia State University provide various educational opportunities to African American farmers. The program provides one-on-one technical assistance, distribution of information, USDA loan application assistance, workshops and conferences, and networking. Participants stated that agents being \"hands on\" was a great way to talk and effectively provide assistance to them. The findings for the study characterized barriers relaying from challenges in the program to communication between program and farmers. Family motivation, technology, and the USDA were other unknown barriers that were revealed in the study. The data suggest improvements for the program; first, the involvement of more farmers in the program planning of educational opportunities at Virginia State University would increase participation. Second, the current evaluation of strategies should be continued as a method of usage. However, a pre and post survey should be conducted to analyze and discover farmerś usage in modern to traditional communication systems. Third, providing additional technological advancement training to agents, specialists, and director to be more advance in the new age, and lastly at conferences and/or workshops, construct more engaging informative discussions on adult learning and farm family motivation factors.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2013", "publisher": "", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://vt.summon.serialssolutions.com/2.0.0/link/0/eLvHCXMwpV1NT4NAEJ2oJ6MHjRo_k_kD1AIFS29NhXjSJhqvm11Y6iZ1MZQ2_hz9K_4yZxYbSY96AxKG8HaX2eW9fQMQBr2-t_FNCJSi3CJ9FZRRqaMw8YtSa-pgSsbxwJHpnU3wsC5XuOE2wCaWyTU7eN1s0zJryBKuXnL_K4Zrs0J2AHu3HTb7ELa0PYLPscW10wdWJbaFeOjaDzWCmazpEKeyI2hGY_HZ1DNjjcRJVb3p1pAb03enMK_sCL8-KHJK4EsX2SJN3fDxVc7nLiQ-LFk0nr8gvQm6P-aMPxL-PEWktsVpq8U6hnGWPk3uvFUjCjPjqiHMHCwM8-2CjaBX7OzKiq2FoOU0nQpKSMLhIhwu4QnsS9bG28btoStOAd2ojMuo8FV_oDThlofFMJIx17DLdXwGo78_8Pw_N1_AbuDKS_heEF3CTlMv9RW35jfRSLhV", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Adult Learning" }, { "tag": "Cooperative Extension" }, { "tag": "Participation" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-01-08T19:43:21Z", "dateModified": "2016-01-08T19:43:21Z" } }, { "key": "3D2PSK26", "version": 14, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 328547, "name": "ExtensionLibTrends", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/extensionlibtrends", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/328547/items/3D2PSK26", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/extensionlibtrends/items/3D2PSK26", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1125152, "username": "ihaugen", "name": "Inga Haugen", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ihaugen", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Bartley et al.", "parsedDate": "2011", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "3D2PSK26", "version": 14, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Fostering Collaboration: FCS Teachers and Cooperative Extension Faculty", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Sharon J.", "lastName": "Bartley" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Fahzy", "lastName": "Abdul-Rahman" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Merrilyn N.", "lastName": "Cummings" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "David P.", "lastName": "O'Brien" } ], "abstractNote": "Commonalities exist between family and consumer sciences (FCS) middle and secondary teachers and Cooperative Extension Service (CES) state and county faculty. From educational backgrounds to the content and societal issues of concern, FCS teachers and CES faculty follow similar paths, with differences in the audiences they reach and the settings in which they work. Collaboration between FCS teachers and CES faculty seems logical, allowing valuable resources to be shared. However, little is known about collaboration between these two groups. A review of the literature found no previous studies on collaboration between FCS teachers and CES faculty. The Advisory Committees of the FCS and Extension Home Economics (EHE) Departments at New Mexico State University (NMSU) are groups of individuals who represent each FCS content area and provide suggestions and guidance related to programmatic issues for the departments. The committees suggested during one of their yearly meetings that efforts be made to foster collaboration between the FCS teachers and CES faculty. Based on their recommendation, a plan was developed and implemented by FCS/EHE faculty to work toward fostering collaboration between the two groups. The objectives of the project were to develop, implement, and evaluate a template for meetings to foster collaboration between FCS teachers and CES faculty, to measure existing collaborative efforts between the two groups, to determine levels of interest in or need for collaboration as perceived by the groups, and to identify potential areas for collaboration.

One strategy used by community development organizations to address these challenges is the development of farm entry programs that assist immigrants in beginning and sustaining farm operations in the United States. Organizations such as Cooperative Extension, resettlement agencies, and African mutual aid associations have developed beginning farmer programs that provide a supportive foundation for immigrant farmers to gain access to farmland, technical training, and markets. Returning to farming provides African immigrants with a series of benefits including supplemental income, food security, and social integration. Drawing upon social capital theory, this study offers a novel approach to measure the community and economic development outcomes of immigrant farming programs. In this mixed-method program evaluation, immigrant farming programs are analyzed as social networks that connect immigrants to technical training, farming resources, and community members who can provide access to markets. Data were collected through a survey of 112 agricultural educators working with immigrant farming programs across the United States. Data were also collected through case studies of a Midwestern program and a Southern program. The case studies include two focus groups and 20 interviews with individuals associated with the programs as participants, agricultural educators, and community partners. Regression tests were conducted to determine the social capital factors associated with well-being outcomes occurring through the programs. The models show that interaction outside of the program, and access to information are positively associated with well-being outcomes. Analysis of variance tests show differences between programs with African immigrant participants and programs with participants from other world regions. Programs with African immigrants tend to have more requirements to use farming resources compared to programs with immigrants from other world regions. Qualitative analysis found that female African immigrant participants have a lower levels of agency compared to male African immigrant participants. The study concludes with a discussion of recommendations for implementing and evaluating immigrant farming programs, as well as applying social capital theory to the field of agricultural education.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2012", "publisher": "", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://vt.summon.serialssolutions.com/2.0.0/link/0/eLvHCXMwpV07TwMxDLYoE6IDCBBPyX-g5R5N1Ot2Kj3BUMTAHiVNcrqhReJCxc_HzrWl6ghjhsSy8nASf_4-gDwbJoODMyEzhmKLTk3mhXciL1LrnaMFZrSUo5hM3yuCh61c4QHbAJNYFo90J-Hq3p4YM4RrWLz-guG6Q646g9OnvWz2ORy51QX4HaoNX5bLpqZYELDSDDmp8a1DQ7VI1rCrjMWpjsIdEyxx3nw7i_Mo6ozlhu0bw8e2H8523NyXUFaz9-nzYB2UbWoegb__24aT5orZnNdMz8qwq1bRm5iaiqKKis6p6Fx-BX3NAPdViIVw9howbi3phU1NMjKOnF_kdiy0ZCG6hZM3MPm7wdv_dL6DE7pFRImURN7Dcfj8cg88JT_nG6IL", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "African immigrants" }, { "tag": "community development" }, { "tag": "immigrant farming programs" }, { "tag": "social capital" }, { "tag": "social networks" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-01-08T19:43:21Z", "dateModified": "2016-01-08T19:43:21Z" } }, { "key": "RXNUMK6Z", "version": 14, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 328547, "name": "ExtensionLibTrends", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/extensionlibtrends", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/328547/items/RXNUMK6Z", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/extensionlibtrends/items/RXNUMK6Z", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1125152, "username": "ihaugen", "name": "Inga Haugen", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ihaugen", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Jernigan et al.", "parsedDate": "2015", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "RXNUMK6Z", "version": 14, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Communication Technology Training Beyond the University Campus: A Case Study of Skill Development in the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Hayley", "lastName": "Jernigan" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Leslie D.", "lastName": "Edgar" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Jefferson D.", "lastName": "Miller" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Casandra K.", "lastName": "Cox" } ], "abstractNote": "Faculty at a Land Grant university provided communication technology training to Cooperative Extension Service personnel in a face-to-face, five-day workshop covering seven lessons focused on communication technology (Social Media, Video Media, Photography Media, Professional Networking Media, Collection Media, Publishing Media and File Sharing Media).

The majority (91.6%) of respondents had not heard of the national Extension website eXtension and only 4 respondents (2.5%) had reported using the website before. Respondents felt that eXtension would increase the accessibility of Extension programming, should be publicized more by local Extension offices, and would make Cooperative Extension more popular. Internet use among farmers was found to be influenced by age, highest level of education attained, Internet connection type, and other electronic devices used. Perceptions about AgriLife Extension were found to be influenced by Innovativeness Category, primary occupation, gender, and other electronic devices used. Findings in this study support the Uses and Gratifications Theory of media use.;", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2012", "publisher": "", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "9781267963611;1267963611;", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://vt.summon.serialssolutions.com/2.0.0/link/0/eLvHCXMwrV3JTsMwEB2xXFgkoOwUyTdOgdqJ3faAEIIW7vReTeIxlyotbZEq8fN4XCdULDeOWXyI47w8z7yZB5Cq61byDRNUnvt_C8pcOe1Ip11pHZFfYDkak4Vk-koRPFQWrvFtVyAZkNuOCw6a3_htFGeFjOneTd4StpHidGvlqYHRa8HecqNLsw6bnupoXvZPq_yo3s5LxQGV1EgZ-0DVx7-ANCNwfw8-qgKeoLuulSccg4gioB-dHf_tgfZh53ElYX8Aa1Q2YPv-dRpbdlCDfZ-jRuQQXnqLoIgfl1czwcJFgTOBpYjtWfkmsUwX-LNWcNVxSSMRHI9EySkkthISA1r4cQ6nHFQ_gkG_N3h4TqJtQzLxdDApigxzT5tQGiJEKdFo1LbQ3JYms5KMJx3aSWM9WZVWk3JksxRdu2grTF16DLvI6v5yHqoA7SmIgCvGaSvzVpaT7nSK1HY0GnbhK8icwUk1pUM7Gg2VJ32eWrW1PINmfSV-nbPh10yf_znwArY8N1LLaEsTNubTd7pk1eUnKmvasQ", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Agricultural education" }, { "tag": "Agriculture" }, { "tag": "Biological sciences" }, { "tag": "Education" }, { "tag": "Farmers" }, { "tag": "Information sources" }, { "tag": "Texas AgriLife Extension Service" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-01-08T19:43:21Z", "dateModified": "2016-01-08T19:43:21Z" } }, { "key": "KHVXGJ25", "version": 14, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 328547, "name": "ExtensionLibTrends", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/extensionlibtrends", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/328547/items/KHVXGJ25", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/extensionlibtrends/items/KHVXGJ25", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1125152, "username": "ihaugen", "name": "Inga Haugen", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ihaugen", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Varner", "parsedDate": "2011", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "KHVXGJ25", "version": 14, "itemType": "book", "title": "A phenomenological study of millennial generation cooperative extension educators' development of core competencies", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "David L.", "lastName": "Varner" } ], "abstractNote": "This purpose of this qualitative research study was to describe the experiences that contribute to the development of core competencies among Millennial Generation, county-based Extension educators in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Division.
