from the USDA/CSREES EXTED List dated 27 Aug 1997.
>This is to advise you that USDA is establishing a new quarterly
>periodical entitled Small Farm Digest. The first issue will be coming to you
>in October 1997 as a clearance process is required for establishing
>new periodicals within the Department.
>
>This new newsletter--The Small Farm Digest-- constitutes a merger of the
>former Small Scale Agriculture Today which went out to 19,000
>subscribers under Bud Kerr, now retired manager of the CSREES Office for
>Small Scale Agriculture and the Small and Part Time Farms newsletter which
>went out to 3,000 subscribers under Denis Ebodaghe, CSREES/PAPPP
> National Program Leader for Small Farms. The subscription list will
>include deans and other administrators of colleges of agriculture of
>land-grant universities; directors of state agricultural experiment
>stations; Extension agents; and small- and part-time farmers, as well
>as farm-related businesses; ranchers; commodity groups;
>community-based organizations; philanthropic foundations; and the
>general public.
>
>The establishment of this new periodical, which will reach more than
>24,000 readers throughout the United States, reflects that the former
>USDA Office for Small Scale Agriculture has merged with the USDA
>Small Farm Program within CSREES. All services that were provided by
> the Office for Small Scale Agriculture will continue to be delivered without
>interruption. By combining the two initiatives, we hope to enhance
>our working relationships with the small farm and ranch community and to
>strengthen our capacity to address the needs of small farmers and
>ranchers in a timely manner.
>
>Denis Ebodaghe, National Program Leader for the Small Farm Program
>within CSREES will have oversight for the Small Farm Digest. He
>welcomes information from your region for potential articles in the
>Small Farm Digest and notices of upcoming events. Please communicate
>article and event suggestions to Denis Ebodaghe, National Program
>Leader - Small Farms, USDA-CSREES, STOP 2220, Washington, D.C.
