Cooperative agricultural extension work means developing practical uses for research and teaching people through instruction and demonstrations. It covers farming, solar energy in agriculture, home economics, rural energy, and related subjects, for people who don't attend or live at the colleges. The Secretary of Agriculture and the relevant state colleges agree together on how to carry it out.

This section explains what "cooperative agricultural extension work" consists of. It means developing practical, real-world applications of research knowledge. It means teaching people through instruction and hands-on demonstrations of existing or improved farming practices and technologies. The subjects covered include agriculture, using solar energy in agriculture, home economics, rural energy, and related topics. This work reaches people who don't attend classes or live at the participating colleges, out in their own communities. It works through demonstrations, publications, and other methods, including the printing and distribution of information. Finally, this work must be carried out however the Secretary of Agriculture and the State's agricultural college or colleges — or the Territory's or possession's college — mutually agree.
