Conference and Institute Office, 1982

Subseries 1c contains the administrative files of Dean John Theodore Woeste for the years 1979 to 1985. It includes records of the various IFAS departments, the Community Resource Development Committee, the Energy Extension Committee, the Marine Advisory Program, and other programs. Most committee files consist of a statement of purpose, a plan of action (ranging in quality from generalizations on the future of farming to specific measures), and a yearly assessment of progress.

For IFAS, the year 1980 marked an important milestone on the road to computer technology. In September the W.W. Kellogg Foundation awarded IFAS over $280,000 to design and implement a computer soft-ware package that would retrieve and disperse information and recommendations related to crop and pest control management. Also during the 1980s, IFAS confronted the exigencies of economic survival as federal support declined. IFAS searched for alternative sources of funds and opted for an integrated approach to extension work that involved agencies outside the agricultural framework in their efforts to assist small (or "family") farms in North and Central Florida.

This subseries is arranged alphabetically, with larger files broken down by year.
