James F. Evans Collection, Information needs and technical knowledge levels of peach farmers, served by extensionists of the Silverton extension ward were found to be low. Respondents generally misperceived their actual and optimum production levels, resulting in low aspirations for the greater majority of respondents and irrationally high aspirations in the case of a small minority of respondents. Full- and part-time peach farmers did not differ significantly in their information needs.
