SDSU Extension restructures with 44 specialists

November 3, 2011

South Dakota State University has hired 44 new field specialists to staff the eight regional centers for the newly restructured SDSU Extension program. SDSU Extension provides expertise to South Dakota residents on topics such as agriculture and natural resources.

The program in years past had offices and Extension agents in all of the state's 66 counties to help farmers, gardeners and others seeking information.

The restructuring of the program from county offices into eight regional centers is a result of state government budget cuts. PD
