search through journal, Despite the fact that groups of alternative and conventional agriculturalist do not differ in their overall scores on an agrarianism scale, their response do differ significantly on several of the agrarianism items and on the items related to agrarianism from a scale designed to assess competing agricultural paradigms. This suggests that there are differences in these groups' agrarian ideologies even though their overall scores on the agrarianism scale are nearly identical. Although divergent agricultural groups support agrarian ideals such as family farms and the farm way of life, the way in which these groups conceptualize and would achieve these ideals appear to be different...

Examines the irony that advertisers are selling products that have contributed to the collapse of a rural way of life that is being idealized in prime time television programming.
Citation, abstract, and conclusions (2 pages) printed for ACDC filing and storage., This study identified five underlying frames (mostly in print media but with attention to a television soap opera based on the MST's activities) and examined the images of the movement that the frames presented. "Though the coverage often presents the MST in a favorable light, it does not necessarily encourage the goal of mobilization that the movement seeks to promote."

205 pages., Examines the contradictory cultural forces and value systems of rural and industrial communications. Offers a prospective model at the intersections between agriculture and professional communication in the form of a hybrid communication, "documents of coordination," designed to "go between minds, creating meanings and accommodating novelties to existing sets of beliefs and social institutions." Uses an extension project as a case analysis.
6 pages, via online journal, In order to design and implement public policies in the context of rural development, information tends to be gathered about family farming in different Latin American countries. In contrast, scarce attention has been given to the description of rural extensionists, who are the ones supporting family farming in the fi eld. A cross-sectional investigation was conducted between 2010 and 2012 including surveys to rural extensions working in 10 different Latin American countries, this allowing for a preliminary description of the socio-demographic profile of the respondents. The samples were incidental ranging from 19 (Bolivia) to 220 (Argentina) subjects, this implying that they were not representative. Significant statistical differences were found with regards to the sex, age, experience, level of education and university degree of the samples pertaining to the different countries. In average, most extensionists are men (70.1%), age 40.3 and have little more than 11 years of experience as extensionists. Brazilian practitioners surveyed are the oldest, most educated and experienced among the different samples. In general, most extensionists have a technical background and are agricultural engineers. The Uruguayan sample showed the highest percentage of extensionists coming from the area of social sciences.

Notes:
Examines public issues related to farm size, ownership structure, labor, soil conservation, food supply, others. Includes a discussion (p. 99-106) about the inadequacy of the statement, "I speak for the farmers." Cites Prof. J.E. Boyle in the North American Review who once described farmers as the most organized Americans. Said Boyle: "Farming is not one business but an infinite tangle of competing businesses."
Agrarian values traditionally have been linked with farm families. Using data from a survey of Wisconsin farm spouses, this article explores the relationship between the identification of farm husbands and farm wives with agrarian values and related sex role orientations and position in the social structure of agriculture. As in previous studies, a commercial/refugist dimension of variation in agrarian identities was found. Depending on the structure of farm household organization, there also was substantial support for a much wider range of agrarian and non-agrarian identities than previously supposed. This was particularly so for farm wives. The change from lifestyles dependent on farming activities to those not dependent on agriculture has been central to the growing diversity in farm spouse roles and self-perceptions. Future studies need to consider three distinctive sets of value-orientations associated with traditional business, and property-holding lifestyles. (author)
