The Cooperative Extension Service is a program designed to deliver technical information to farmers and other citizens in order to improve efficiencies, protect natural resources, and improve the quality of life for citizens. It is called the "Cooperative Extension Service" because it is a cooperative effort of federal, state, and local governments.

The Cooperative Extension Service has gained a reputation as an unbiased source of information, and is seen by many as the best resource for technology transfer. This is due to involvement at all levels and because the service's information source is the land-grant universities of the United States.

The Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department has for many years participated in the Cooperative Extension Service by providing technical expertise in areas related to engineering in agriculture.
