why are farmers organized in farmer research committees willing to assume some of the costs of adaptive testing and extension? the answer lies in thousands of studies of agricultural technology adoption by poor farmers in developing countries. these show how some farmers in a community will always conduct small-scale experiments on their farms to check out whether a blanket recommendation or a technology package from an extension agent actually works in their conditions these studies also show how other farmers will wait to see how these experimenters fare before they too take the risk of innovating. this makes sense because the poor are usually farming in highly unpredictable and risky production environments, for which it is extremely expensive for an extension system to develop precise recommendations. the best these services can do is to come up with technologies that, on the average, are likely to do well. but poor farmers need–and practise—precision farming: they deliberately maximise diversity within small areas on their farms to protect themselves from the risk of a bad season in one micro-environment, or one disease or pest or crop or variety. as a result, farmers are rightly cautious about adopting blanket recommendations, and they do their own on-farm testing to check these recommendations out.
