      Historique

      Agricultural Representatives were first appointed in the Ontario Department of Agriculture in 1907, and an early "Agricultural Representative Branch" existed between 1920 and 1956. Between 1956 and 1982, the Agricultural Representatives were administered within the Extension Branch. Within the Extension Branch, the Agricultural Representative Service coordinated the activities of the Agricultural Representatives. By the late 1960's, however, the term "Agricultural Representative Service" was no longer used in descriptions of Extension Branch activities, although the branch remained responsible for the Agricultural Representatives.

      In 1982, the Extension Branch was disbanded and the agricultural representatives were administered through a newly-created Agricultural Representatives Branch. The branch formed part of the Advisory and Technical Services Division of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

      In May 1993, the Agricultural Representatives Branch was dissolved and its field personnel were divided amongst branches that combined program delivery with regional branches. Specifically, these were the Farm Business Management and Western Region, the Livestock Technology and Eastern Region, the Crop Technology and Southern Region, and the Leadership and Organisations Development and Central/ North Region.
