520 |a The study was made to consider cultural factors related to the acceptance or nonacceptance of farm practices. Some major conclusions were: (1) demonstrators should be in the age group 30-45, (2) reading material should be at the seventh or eighth grade level, (3) meetings should be convenient for small or disadvantaged farmers to attend, (4) neighborhoods and other locality groups should be identified, (5) recommended farm practices should be compatible with the local value systems, (6) annual work plans should be based on the needs of people, and (7) varied sources of information available should be considered. It is recommended that extension workers be provided with inservice training on how farmers accept new farm practices or ideas and that a summary of the findings and implications of farm practice diffusion research be prepared for their use.
