Abstract
The author explores county Extension coucils to determine if present councils are made up of people who can make decisions about broader, problem-solving based Extension programs. Oberle learned that many council members were recommended by associates or friends, a procedure that contributed to homogeneity in the councils. A homogeneous council, Oberle says, may make it difficult for council members to perceive problems of clientele with characteristics or attitudes that appear different from those of the council members.
