      abstract = {Trends in public expenditure on agricultural extension are  examined for Agriculture Departments in four States. There  is little evidence that the share of public resources going  to extension has declined. However, new demands have meant  that the nature of extension has changed. A strategic  approach to examining issues, such as land degradation, for  the source of market failure may better guide the use of  scarce public resources than the traditional focus on the  public goods characteristics of research and extension. The  case for evaluating broad functions such as research and  extension is becoming more questionable as these functions  become more diverse.},
