Abstract

INTENSIVE FARMING DEMONSTRATIONS WERE PRESENTED USING PLOTS MANAGED BY SMALL FARM OPERATORS. EXTENSION AGENTS, SPECIALISTS, AND LONGTERM PARTICIPANTS WERE TRAINED. IN ADDITION TO GRAINS THE TECHNOLOGICAL PACKAGES PRODUCED INCLUDE VEGETABLE TECHNOLOGY. PACKAGES WERE DESIGNED CONSIDERING COST ESTIMATES AND RETURNS WHICH ALLOW A FARMER TO ADOPT PACKAGES THAT INCREASE EARNINGS WITHOUT INCREASING PRODUCTION INPUTS.
