Abstract
Farm visits have formed the basis for agricultural Extension education. However it is becoming difficult to justify the time and expense involved. A postcard survey of 77 eastern Vermont dairy farmers was used to evaluate the dollar value and importance of farm visits to farms grouped by herd size. Visits were rated as moderately to extensively important by 90% of respondents. Seventy percent of farmers responding felt that farm visits improved their profitability. Extension agents should recognize the value of farm visits and maintain them as an educational method
