Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service Online Survey

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is conducting on online survey with the purpose of listening to Texas citizens as they identify the strengths and needs of their communities.  The goal of Texas Speaks is to engage as many Texas citizens as possible to create the most accurate and helpful data to support Texas communities at both the state and local levels. The local branch of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service has a rich history of providing educational programs that address the most critical issues in the county, and invites your participation in the Texas Speaks process.
Previously conducted in person and within each county, this online survey allows for greater engagement of Texas citizens that may not have been reached through previous methods.  The key points of Texas Speaks are:

*   Online
*   Anonymous
*   Takes 10 minutes or less
*   Helps identify and understand the issues facing Texas communities
*   Includes an open feedback section for areas not listed within the survey
*   Includes an opportunity to elect to receive contact by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension
*   The goal is for each county to achieve 10% response from individuals
Data from the survey will be aggregated at local levels and provided to local stakeholders. Additionally, statewide data will be aggregated and made available to state agencies and decision makers. The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is a statewide network of professional educators, trained volunteers, and county offices. It reaches into every Texas county to address local priority needs and to extend the latest research to the people of Texas. Some of the major efforts are in mitigating drought impacts; conserving water use in homes, landscapes, and production agriculture; improving emergency management; enhancing food security; and protecting human health through education about diet, exercise, and disease prevention and
management.
