Findings suggest that the contribution of agricultural extension services to India's food production can be claimed to the extent of 64.20 percent especially in the Punjab where this study was conducted with 500 farmers. Agricultural information services accounted for 8.59 percent of impact (increased farm production) on 60.17 percent of farmers. Knowledge gains through publicity and training camps accounted for 8.75 percent of impact on 61.24 percent of farmers.

Henry, have shown that when development is both indivisible and irreversible, a developer who ignores the possibility of obtaining new information about the outcome of such development will invariably underestimate the benefits of preservation and hence favor development. In this note, I extend the AFH analysis in two directions. I model the land development problem in a dynamic framework, explicitly specifying an information production function. In such a setting, I then ask and answer the question concerning when development should take place. JEL Classification: D82, Q20 Key words: development, dynamic, information, uncertainty

"The case study farmers appear to derive more value from information gathering technologies (e.g., yield monitors and mapping) than from variable rate application technologies."
traditional knowledge, Evans, cited reference, This article argues that concern with technical knowledge, which is indigenous to disadvantaged rule groups, must go beyond, an interest in extracting fragments of it to make marginal improvements to existing types of R and D project. The main issue must be beats to which such groups are involved in, and have influence upon, the technical change which affects their lives. Arrange a potential uses for indigenous technical knowledge is therefore far wider than those involved in Rand D, and the central concern must be with augmenting the whole spectrum of indigenous capabilities to create, transform and use technical knowledge. This implies there must be a shift from the dominant approach to the rule of technical change, which really seeks to introduce into roll society techniques conceived and developed outside it. Rather, one must seek the technical development of roll society, which enables it more effectively to pursue and control its own path of technical change.

Notes:
6 pages., Authors from the Center for Commercial Agriculture, Purdue University, discuss the adoption of precision agriculture technologies. Findings of cited research among farmers indicated that the average net benefit was almost $90 per acre, and the benefit cost ratio averaged 9.7 to 1. "These results suggest a much higher payoff of precision farming than previous studies. This higher payoff is a result of the whole-farm system benefits of the interactions among individual tools and technologies which result in a new way of farming."

Online from AgEconSearch., Authors estimated losses in consumption and sales revenue resulting when expenditures for generic advertising and promotion for orange juice were cut nearly to zero, as well as estimated time required for the market to recover from the check-off strategy of nearly going dark. "The research presented here demonstrates that reductions in generic advertising are followed by losses that extend far beyond the period of little or no advertising."

Purpose: The impact of agricultural knowledge transfer (KT) is related to the access to and the quality of services available. Within this context, the allocation of resources in terms of KT offices and the number of advisers are important considerations for understanding KT impact. This quantitative study evaluates the impact of KT resources on farm profitability for clients in Ireland during the recessionary period 2008–2014.
Design/Methodology: Teagasc, the public KT service provider in Ireland, experienced significant office closures (43%) and a reduction in advisers (38%) during the economic crisis, yet client numbers declined only slightly (4.5%). Administrative data are merged with a panel data set on farm-level performance to evaluate the impact through Random Effects estimation.
Findings: The results show that clients gained a 12.3% benefit to their margin per hectare over the period. However, there was a negative effect of 0.2% for each additional client assigned to the adviser which averaged at 9.6%.
Practical Implications: The quantitative findings provide a measure of impact that represents the value for money for the KT service. The key implication is that the client ratio for advisers should be considered when allocating resources and lower ratios would positively impact client margins.
Theoretical Implications: This article outlines the value of quantitative studies to estimate impact in a clear translatable manner which can aid the policy discussion around resource deployment.
Originality/Value: This study evaluates the impact of KT during a recessionary period when resources were constrained, and uses client ratios to examine the spatial effects.
8 pages., Online via UI electronic subscription., Researchers measured farmer demand for a new agricultural technology , a triple-layered hermetic storage bag which reduces storage loss from insect pests and neutralizes aflatoxin contamination in grain. Findings revealed a highly elastic demand that that the wholesaler could increase profit by lowering the price. Farmers who had prior awareness of the bag were willing to pay 20% more on average than those previously unaware of it. Farmers' valuation of the bags was not significantly different based on the medium (text, audio, or video) through which they received the information.
