The Magic Of Print-on-demand

The nationwide Cooperative Extension Service was created by the Morrill Act of 1862 to provide research and educational information for farmers. The Texas branch of the agency was established by the Smith-Lever Act of 1914.

Today the agency provides education in the agriculture and environmental sciences, family and consumer sciences, as well as 4-H, youth, and community development to urban and rural residents alike. Texas is not only one of the nation's top producers of beef, wheat, cotton and other crops, but it is also home to three of the nation's 10 largest cities: Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
