Abstract

The study focuses on the divergence between recommended and on-farm practices, information sources, the state of characteristic flux in farmers grazing techniques and the unique challenges of Cooperative Extension education efforts with low-tech grazing dairy producers. Recommendations include: (a) establish minimum standards for new technologies, (b) encourage sequential/incremental adoption of technology, (c) provide specificity in addressing production bottle-necks, (d) provide on-going Cooperative Extension education, and (e) acquaint experiment station researchers with the extension challenges of educating the non-expert farmers.
