Added to these duties was direction of the Extension Program from 1975 to 2011, and the research program from 1985 to 2011. Despite moving nine times, the once-dormant Land Grant Program was resurrected under his leadership. Benson also created the Aquaculture Research Program, established the university's 300-acre research and demonstration farm, worked to renovate the historic Atwood building into the Atwood Research Facility, and directed efforts to build and design the Cooperative Extension Building.
