Abstract
A needs assessment was conducted using Turning Point to guide Extension efforts regarding agricultural drainage and water quality in Minnesota. The survey gave interesting results with respect to the status of drainage on farms. It indicated a lack of knowledge with respect to both the process and the science through which water quality issues are addressed. An encouraging result was a large percentage of respondents that acknowledge the connection between agriculture and water quality issues. The study is leading to the development of Extension programs to address the findings.
