AgComm Teaching, Perspectives about the Programme for Integrated Rural Development in the Humid Tropics (PRODERITH)during 1979-1984. Among the points made: "Traditional knowledge is essential for agricultural research."
New programme, "Shamba Shape-Up," explores typical problems encountered by smallholder families on the outskirts of Kenya's towns and cities, then brings in a crack team of experts to sort them out.
Via ProQuest Historical Newspapers. 1 page., Surveys by county agents suggest that numbers of farms equipped with radios in the U.S. grew from 145,000 in 1923 to 365,000 in 1924 to 550,000 in 1925. Farmers were found to tune in not so much for grand opera or baseball or political speecheds as for weather and market reports.

Notes:
Paper presented to Research Special Interest Group, Association for Communication Excellence, for presentation at its international meeting, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, June 20-24. Paul Yarbrough, emeritus professor, Cornell University, contributed to the design of the study., 16 p., A total of 226 Iowa farm households with computers were surveyed in 2001 about their use of the Internet for both farm and non-farm uses. Of the 111 farmers (49%) that responded, 87 (78%) used the Internet. Results showed heavy Internet use by multiple household members (farmer, spouse and children), especially for information-seeking and email activities. Use of the Internet for transactions was limited. Farmers were more likely to seek farm decision information, whereas children were more likely to play games and use the Internet for school activities. Spouses used the Internet mostly for email. Farmers now regard the Internet as an essential tool for gathering information they couldn't find elsewhere. Implications for communicators are that the Internet should now be part of the information plan for all communicators serving rural farm audiences, both for farm and non-farm information. Extension and other trusted sources should spend more time guiding clients to trustworthy sites for information.
