Paper presented at the "Meeting on Environmental Legislation and its Effects on Weed Science," 1988 January 18-20; Tulsa, OK; AGRICOLA IND 89009907., Georgia peanut farmers worried about the EPA's decision to suspend dinoseb, a herbicide that farmers used for the past 40 years. Farmers were critical of a task force's recommendation to ask for an emergency exemption -- Section 18 -- for Gramoxone, instead of fighting for dinoseb. The paper presents a case study of how weed specialists with the Georgia Extension Service worked with the state's news organizations through Extension Service editors to produce stories about their decision, including before and after stories with a farmer who feared that his peanuts were killed by Gramoxone. The case points out how a close working relationship between weed specialists and news editors can enhance educational efforts on a sensitive issue.

(Paper presented at an international conference held at the University of Reading in September 1985), Discusses the relationships between the two traditions, technical innovation (TI) and human resources development (HRD). These two traditions should be seen as two dimensions of extension work which mutually reinforce each other. But in actual practice they function in opposition to each other with different supporters. The author is seeking change and support for a more balanced mix of TI and HRD. It means that extension as a professional field should develop its "instrumentarium" to redress the present imbalance.
