James F. Evans Collection, The concept of Farming systems Research and Extension is a useful means of diagnosing agricultural problems and formulating research needs. Farmers in the study had non viable farming units and derived only a small percentage of income from farming. Adoption rates of recommended farming practices and efficiency levels were low. There was a lack of suitable information flowing from extension services to farmers.
