Extract

A joint task force of researchers from state agricultural experiment stations and the U.S. Department of Agriculture has completed a report entitled “Rural Development and the Quality of Living.” This report is an attempt to express the collective judgment of individual scientists and research administrators in regard to the research questions that need to be answered, some evaluation of present efforts, the adequacy of present facilities, and to suggest changes in research to meet present and future needs. The Task Force looked at these twin goals of research: (1) Raise the level of living of rural people, and (2) improve community services and the environment.
