AGRICOLA AGE 85926239, Extract: The complementary interaction between topsoil depth and technical progress for winter wheat in the Palouse region was found to strengthen the long run payoff to conservation tillage. Nonetheless, conservation tillage was found to be competitive with conventional tillage only if its current yields disadvantages were eliminated. Conservation tillage was relatively more competitive on shallower topsoils and for longer planning horizons. Short-term subsidies coupled with research directed towards reducing the cost and yield disadvantages of conservation tillage in the Palouse were advocated to maintain long-term soil productivity.

AGRICOLA AGE 85925870, Extract: The thesis of this paper is that adaptive ability is unimportant when the processes generating the variables, which farmers take as exogenous, are stationary and unaltered. However, when these processes undergo structural change, adaptive ability is expected to affect the quality of production, marketing, and investment decisions. Farmers who have superior adaptive skills are expected on average to make better decisions. Furthermore, given the highly competitive nature of U.S. agriculture, successfully adapting to structural change is selective. Farmers possessing poor adaptive skill can be expected to comprise a relatively large share of the persons forced by economic circumstances to seek alternative employment or retirement, provided governmental intervention does not neutralize this selection process.
AGRICOLA AGE 85925869, Extract: The present paper consider both knowledge diffusion and adoption, assuming that a relevant and viable new technology is available. The focus is on the rationale for and scope of public sector involvement in these processes. Such involvement includes publicly sponsored information dissemination, intervention in output and input markets, intervention in the credit market, and investment in infrastructure. These issues are discussed below.

AGRICOLA FNI 85008260, Extract: Communicating more effectively with rural women in developing countries can help accelerate the acceptance of change. These women are and have been deprived of the information they need for problem-solving and for evaluating options before making decisions. They need information that responds to their multiple roles as parents, partners, and food producers. They need networks to link them with other women. A model of the communication process is presented, showing the variables that interact and influence communication. Attention is directed to the need to identify and differentiate audience groups, to provide information that is situationally relevant and easy to comprehend, and to use an appropriate combination of interpersonal, group and mass communication. Integrating a communication component into programs and projects is recommended. (author).

AGRICOLA AGE 85925871, Extract: This paper draws on some recent rigorous results to illuminate the distributional consequences of agricultural policy. The paper begins by discussing the important characteristics of the agricultural sector that must play a role in a minimally realistic model of distributional effects. Heterogeneity gives rise to different regimes of behavior among farmers. These regimes are used to illustrate the equity effects of agricultural policy.

Problems which were here-to-fore unsolvable by formal, structured, algorithmic computer programs can be solved using the heuristic and symbolic knowledge incorporated in an expert system. A good expert system can make decisions or give advice equivalent to those of a human expert in a specific area of expertise.

Information technology (computers, communication, etc.) has become an indispensable part of modern life. As such, it is being transferred to the developing world from industrialized countries. However, real technology transfer rarely takes place in such transactions. What the Third World ends up with are prepackaged end products, for which it typically pays a great deal of money. As long as the industrialized countries hesitate to share their research and manufacturing methods, the developing nations will be at their mercy in this vital area. The Third World, in turn, should not expect a "free ride" in this connection, but should develop an information technology of its own.

James F. Evans Collection, Adult Iowans who were members of national conservation-oriented organizations were far more politically active on hunting issues than were nonmembers. Further, only those members who read these organizations' publications were politically active. Among background variables, education and income were not associated with political activity, but males were more active than females; persons raised in small- and medium-sized town were more active than those raised on a farm or in a city; persons under 30 were the most active organization members; and persons who currently hunt were most politically active with hunting issues. Members of antihunting organizations were nearly as active as members of prohunting groups. Publications of national conservation-oriented organizations afford natural resource managers the opportunity to convey information to the group of politically active persons most likely to use such information to the manager's advantage. Finally, professional conservationists interested in promoting prohunting causes should be aware that organization members who are against hunting are as likely to be actively pursuing their beliefs as are their counterparts who are for hunting.

James F. Evans Collection, The choice by Telecom Australia of the Digital Radio Concentrator System (DRCS) as the mainstay for providing services to outback Australia has raised wide interest. This paper provides some background to this decision by way of discussing the DRCS and the main alternative, a satellite system. The characteristics of these two alternatives are discussed and a comparison is made on the basis of cost. This comparison, based on the latest industry figures, reveals that the DCRS is till the most cost-effective means of providing services in outback Australia by 1990. (author)

INTERPAKS, Mimeographed, 1985. 16 p., Outlines the proposed project of the Government of Malawi for agricultural produce marketing. The objectives of the project are to: 1) improve the timeliness and effectiveness of management information; 2) improve export market intelligence and identify alternative market opportunities for existing and new crops; 3) reduce the high degree of crop losses due to inadequate storage infrastructure; 4) improve the operational effectiveness of ADMARC as a produce marketing organization; 5) increase the economic efficiency of produce and farm input transportation; and 6) improve the monitoring and evaluation of the ADMARC investments and operations to rationalize the activities of the corporation.
INTERPAKS, Describes the cultural based nature of home economics that is a consequence of its particular development in the US. A male agricultural extension service, when transferred overseas, has cultural and value underpinnings that have made the content of training and technical expertise inappropriate or ineffective under conditions in developing countries. To an even greater extent home economics extension, which was aimed primarily at women, has had problems in developing countries in responding to the actual activities of women in rural settings. Home economics, both domestically and overseas, has traditionally ignored farm women's production work because it has had an implicit commitment to certain cultural norms about the proper role or women. These norms may have served some function during a time in the US when the sex ratio was heavily male-biased. In developing countries, however, where sex ratios in rural areas are often skewed toward females, male temporary migration is the rule rather than the exception, and women have traditionally been the producers of food. To be effective in providing a women-oriented extension service, must take into account both the productive and reproductive roles of women and serve to help women better integrate them in their activities.

private sector, INTERPAKS, In V. W. Ruttan (Ed.), Agricultural research policy and development. Rome: Food and Agriculture Organization by the United Nations, 1985. (draft manuscript). 45 p., Explores the relationship between research and extension systems. Details the factors determining the utilization of research results as well as the importance of the feedback mechanisms. Presents examples of approaches to improve linkages between research and extension, such as on-farm trials, farming systems research, and use of extension technical liaison personnel. The final section discusses complementarity between research and extension and provides suggestions toward facilitating cooperation between the two organizations.
