The study used a descriptive method and documents the history of agricultural extension dating back to the mid-19th century. In the interwar period (1918–1939), advisory services were carried out by the newly established agricultural chambers, and after World War II, after their liquidation, by state system of agricultural advisory services, which was subject to many changes in the organizational structure and objectives pursued. In the first period of transition of agriculture to a free market economy, the author emphasized the big role of the Polish/American Extension Project for the reorganization of Polish advisory and improvement of skills of our advisers.
