AGRICOLA IND 89046598, Provision of and request for extension services are simultaneously determined by economic, social, and policy variables. This paper examines the allocation of extension services provided to settlements in terms of a demand-supply model using data from Israel. Results suggest that the amount of extension provided affects the request for extension and vice versa. Other variables influencing the amount of extension services provided and requested are structure, scale, and age of the settlement and its distance from the extension center. The role of a settlement coordinator is of great importance in determining the amount of services provided.

AGRICOLA IND 90037909, Soil erosion presents a constant and serious threat to agriculture, as well as to communities, in Australia. Soil conservation, therefore, is a concern for both farmers and communities alike. Soil conservation programs are a major thrust of extension agricultural cultural programs in Australia. Community participation is an important part of these conservation programs. Four states in Australia have district soil conservation advisory committees. These committees are studied as an example of community participation. Both committee members and the extension officers who work with the committees are included in the study. Results indicate that both committee members and extension officers agree that the advisory committees contribute significantly to the conservation programs in their areas. However, the two groups disagree in terms of what the most important accomplishments of the committees have been. Thus, while the committees are generally viewed positively, there is some potential for problems related to the different perceptions of the committees' accomplishments.
