Communications: Agricultural Communication Service

Agricultural Communication Service is an important link between Purdue agriculture and the public at county, state, and national levels.

The department uses a variety of media, including publications, videotapes, exhibits, graphic design, photography, mass media, CD-ROM, Web sites, and distance learning technology.

Approximately 2,200 educational publications are available from the Purdue Agriculture Media Distribution Center, (888) EXT-INFO, or through the online Purdue Extension Education store at www.ces.purdue.edu/new.

Agricultural Communication Service is also one of three University offices officially allowed to send out news releases and other materials for the media. The department concentrates on the public understanding of science, agricultural production, consumer information, and the promotion of the Purdue Agriculture and the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service. The department also publishes Connections for agricultural alumni, Purdue Agriculture Reports, an e-mail newsletter for business and civic leaders, and Agricultures, a general interest magazine for people interested in the application of research and education to issues and interests in life science, agriculture, and natural resources.
