“Basically, what the de
partment is doing,” Baker
explains, “is realigning and
fortifying its field offices
to insure that rural com
munities do not miss out
on help available from any
source in their develop
ment programs.
“We have established a
“one-stop” service concept
in every rural county to
enable local leaders to (1)
get help they need in find
ing out what is impeding
the development of their
local economy, (2) obtain
assistance in preparing eco
nomic development plans,
and (3) tap all govern
ment and private services
that can be used to turn
dreams into reality.”
Membership of the tech
nical action panels at the
state level consists of the
heads of all Department of
Agriculture agencies that
have state offices. The
heads of all other govern
ment agencies that provide
support in the development
of rural areas are invited
to become members. The
panels are assisted by the
directors of the extension
service, who in some states
