Abstract
Extension must have concern for the alienated farmer, the man who feels left out and turned off from the mainstream of society. According to Dickinson, this feeling of alienation prevents people from seeking assistance from agencies and individuals that might be able to help the alienated person. The author compares personal and interpersonal Extension contacts in his study of alienation. As might be predicted, those farmers with high alienation scores avoided personal contacts with Extension. Alienation was not a factor in the use of impersonal contacts.
