The Group is working at the request of AGI to take action on the recommendations from the initial report by RDAR (see below for details)

“Agricultural Industry Stakeholders,

Thank you for your support as the Working Group continues to evolve the proposed Cooperative Agricultural Extension model. We’ve captured several Frequently Asked Questions, which are available in the attached file for your convenience.

The Working Group would sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback to continually evolve the proposed model. Your feedback will be used to inform design and implementation improvements to best meet Alberta agricultural extension service provider and producer extension needs. Results will be shared in a future stakeholder update prior to pilot launch.

The survey should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. Please submit your response by end of day Tuesday, March 26th.

Early April, we will release a second survey, focused specifically on determining critical Specialist gaps (both holistically and regionally) to help direct Specialist hiring requirements and inform initial Communities of Extension that will provide the most cross-industry extension value.

Thank you for your time in providing feedback. We are Better Together!
