Agricultural Development Act

The act establishes a framework for promoting agricultural development and education, setting out a statutory definition of agriculture and declaring a state policy under which departments and agencies cooperate with the agricultural extension service. It authorizes counties to appropriate funds and to use public facilities in support of agricultural programs, directs that existing research facilities be used to the fullest extent, and allows locally appropriated money to be combined with funds made available by Congress. The authority it confers is supplementary to powers granted elsewhere, and it requires an annual report on funds allocated to the state agricultural foundation.
