In the tenth episode of The Extensionists, co-hosts Toban Dyck and Jay Whetter speak with Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers Executive Director Daryl Domitruk. In this wide-ranging interview, the three of them get to the heart of what agriculture extension is and how it seems to have fallen by the wayside these days. Or has it… 

Daryl shares how extension is a two-way street and to do it right you need to take the time to listen and understand before you present. He also discusses how extension can help farmers handle the ever growing list of expectations being placed (and sometimes imposed) on them. 

Listen to this episode to learn more about Daryl and what the future of research extension could be.
