‣ Advisory and information service is established by farm organizations and
unions.
‣ Advisory and information services are established as commercial enterprise.
‣ Advisory and information service is organized by private owners.
Each of these models has specific advantages and disadvantages. For example,
advisory and information service has been established attached to the Ministry of
Agriculture in the Switzerland. The department connects educational, advice giving and
improving activity of local departments. 50 local departments are included into the
structure of the department. Advisers working in the departments are considered state
workers. Advisers collect the statistical data, control if the limit of quota on output
production is maintained or not, and ecological norms, help preparing of financial and
credit documents, give advice on agriculture areas and take part in carrying out the
public policy, here advisory and information service is financed 50% by the State
Budget and 50% by specialized unions of agriculture. Advisers are elected by interview.
Advisory and information service in England and USA was established on the
basis of diversified regional agrarian universities. This time educational-methodical and
financial-technical opportunities of high schools are used. Experience and practical
level of professor-teacher stuff and scientific workers of laboratories, departments and
faculties provides advisory service on a high level to farmers on all spheres of agrarian
science and practice. Belief of producers in advisers, specialists neither than in officials
influence positively on efficiency of advisory and information service. Prestige of high
schools, mutual relations with state structures and agricultural enterprises, commerce
and other organizations contributes to influence to forming of agricultural policy.
Practically, this model has not got a weak side. Advisory and information service is
financed on the account of national and regional budget in the countries it is applied.
Some areas of advisory and information service are financed by itself or compensate
some part of the expenses at its own charges. The law about composition of advisory
and information service was accepted in the USA since 1914. 200 people are working in
the central office of agriculture department. All the activities implemented in different
states are managed and related with each other by the central office. Basic plans are
organized on agricultural production in central office for economic development of
