| Hello folks,
My students are asking farmers the following questions this weekend... perhaps some of you might like to answer some or all of them.
* Where do you obtain information about new agricultural practices, products or technologies?
* Are you concerned that some of the information is biased? Briefly explain.
* Do you conduct on-farm experiments to evaluate practices/products/technologies? If so, briefly explain. (e.g., do you use replicated plots or collaborate with scientists or other farmers)
* Why do you think farmers use so many products/technologies that are not recommended by university scientists?
* Are you considering trying any new practices/products/technologies in 2011? If so, briefly explain. How did you learn about the practice/product/technology and why do you think it might be worth a try?
