I noticed that, too, in the Jerry Baker article.  The author was stretching the point, in my opinion.  The Extension Service is an entity within the USDA and, as far as I can determine, works through state universities.  I took the MG course offered by Virginia Tech and am a volunteer in the county where I live, Fluvanna, in central Virginia.  My certificate (as I recall, without trying to dredge it up) refers to VTech, not the USDA, as the certifying agent.
