In a postal survey conducted among 199 commercial farmers in Natal during 1993, sources and costs of information were studied. Respondents in the survey indicated that the most important source of information was own farm records/bugets. This source was ranked highest for production, marketing and financial decisions by respondents from all regions in the province. Respondents spent an average of R 3504 per year on information sources. Keeping own farm records and preparing budgets was the most time consuming activity while it had the second highest expenditure of all the information sources. The greatest expenditure was on tax preparers accountants which contributed 44 percent to the total information costs. Discriminant analyses showed that various sources of information were rated differently by farmers depending on region and farm size.
