Abstract

The Cooperative Extension Service has been given the charge to develop programs for delivery to the rural poor. This study surveyed the poor in three western Oregon counties. It indicates that rural poverty is heterogenous and people in poverty have a variety of needs. The authors then identified some implications of this survey to Extension programming. You may want to compare their implications to your current Extension programs for low-income people.
