Abstract

Discriminant analysis of information sources used on 199 commercial farms in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, showed that various sources of information were rated differently by farmers depending on region and farm size. Information specific to certain enterprises was rated highly by farmers from regions in which these enterprises occurred while large farmers were found to rate specialized information sources more highly than small farmers. These results have important implications for the provision of information for South African agriculture.
