The influence of farmers' mechanical skill on the development and adoption of a new agricultural practice
1988
Carlson, J.E. | Dillman, D.A.
Results from a random sample survey of Palouse farmers and all known users of no-till in this region of Washington and Idaho support the hypotheses that the mechanical skill of farmers contributes to the first use and subsequent adoption of no-till. The extent of a farmer's mechanical activity predicts first use of no-till, but not adoption. Adoption, on the other hand, is predicted by the complexity of a farmer's mechanical skill, but not by the extent of his mechanical activities. We conclude that adoption of no-till partly depends on the ability of a farmer to make the technology work on his or her farm.
