Abstract	This study assessed the consensus among and between members of land grant college (LGC) and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) staffs on perceptions of a farm demonstration program called the Rapid Adjustment Program (RAP); and measured the effect of organizational affiliation (TVA or LGC), position, tenure, educational level, major area of study, and time devoted to the RAP, on perceptions. The 188 questionnaire respondents, all directly involved in developing, implementing, and evaluating the RAP concept, expressed themselves on four major RAP subconcepts; objectives, clientele, task, evaluation criteria. Respondents' current work situation, prior experience, and learned behavior had some effect. Certain disagreements on the importance of individual subconcepts were also related to organization, position, and education. Communication of the RAP concept seems to have occurred mainly among program specialists. Improved methods were suggested for conveying the concept to persons in other positions. (LY)
