ERS Foreign - 76, Development and Trade Analysis Division, Economic Research Service. 32 pages, Page 14 contains a discussion about the gap between knowledge and actual application on the farm. "It has been estimated, for example, that crop production per acre could increase one-fourth in the next five years on lands readily available, and primarily with methods now known and widely used." Cites USDA, Food and Agriculture: a Program for the 1960s, March 1962, in connection with that estimate.

Bulletin No. 10, page 2., Reports results of survey among 73 county farm bureaus. Findings suggest that 7-10 percent of the rural population of the state have installed receiving sets.
Experiment using a commercial service called Reuters Market Lights. Market, weather and other information provided to farmers by mobile phones resulted in no statistically significant average treatment effect on the prices received by farmers, crop losses resulting from rainstorms, or the likelihood of changing crop varieties and cultivation practices.

search from AgEcon. http://agecon.lib.umn.edu, American Agricultural Economics Association Annual Meeting, August 2-5, 1998, Salt Lake City. 14 p., This paper considers an agricultural production model of sequential nitrogen application under risk. Because of
random shocks between successive production stages, optimal fertilization decisions depend on the magnitude of farmers' risk aversion (risk premium), and the possibility for farmers to process information (value of information). We propose a joint estimation procedure of technology and risk aversion parameters, using a structural, simulation-based econometric technique. Parameter estimates for the representative farmer's utility function allow to compute both the value of information and the risk premium for farmers. Those account together for about 30 percent of fertilizer cost for Midwest corn producers.
