Description

 This study is based on the survey results which were conducted in Java from the middle of August to the end of September, 1973. <br> Three districts selected for those surveys are as follows :<br> (1) Kabupaten Malang, where horticulture and fruit-farming are prevailing. The number of sample farms is 85. <br>(2) Kabupaten Gunung Kidul, where agricultural productivity is low due to the poor land and lack of capital. The number of sample farms is 30,and they are located near Wonosari. <br>(3) Kabupaten Bogor, where relatively good conditions for farming exist. In addition, this area is a desirable location for getting new information concerning farm practices. The number of sample farms is 40. <br> The purpose of this study is to know farmers' knowledge situation concerning farm practices and changing economic, social, and institutional conditions. Although this is a pilot study, still it shows us some important aspects of farmers' information structure in the managerial processes. It may be useful to find some ways by which agricultural extension services and/or other governmental works exert effective influence on farmers. Finally, it would offer some suggestions about how to supply new knowledge to the farmers and clarify the relationship of the farmers' managerial processes to the technological advance.
