- W2563607697 abstract "Forty dairy farmers, four local dairy advisers and three resourcenpersons, who attended four qProject Mq discussion meetings on mastitisncontrol in south-east Queensland, were personally interviewed with anquestionnaire to determine the factors associated with the success ofnthe meetings. Factors associated with farmer attitudes towards,nknowledge of and adoption of mastitis control were also investigated.nThe four groups selected represented a range of successful andnunsuccessful meetings.nIn the most and least successful Project M groups there wasnagreement between extension officer's and farmer's ratings of successnof the meeting. In the other Project M groups there were significantndifferences in ratings. In these groups the one considered successfulnby extension officers was rated by farmers to be not very helpful, andnthe group considered unsuccessful was rated helpful by farmers, thoughnthey were very critical of the style and conducting of the meeting.nSignificant differences were noted between successful andnunsuccessful groups and between individual groups in factors contributingnto meeting success. Differences were most noticeable between the mostnand least successful groups.nDifferences were noted in the type of group selected, involvementnof farmers in meeting organization, explanation of meeting purpose,nstyle and time required, as well as the way the meeting was conducted,nthe advisers involvement in the meeting and his extension follow-up.nSelection of a cohesive identifiable group of farmers that werenwilling to openly discuss their own problems and ideas was a distinctnadvantage, but unless handled properly such a group did not guaranteensuccess. Successful meetings were associated with greater farmerninvolvement in, and understanding of the meeting organization andnpurpose. Unsuccessful groups were unaware of the purpose of techniquesnto be used, and saw neither the relevance of small group discussion tonget farmer involvement nor that understanding the disease mastitis wasnpart of the problem solving process. Differences between groups arosenfrom different farmer expectations for the meeting.nThere were also differences between the views advisers andnresource persons had on the place of this type of group extensionnmethod. As well some advisers felt obliged to hold the meeting.nConsequently these advisers did not seem to appreciate the educationalnobjectives of Project M. A tendancy was also found to regard Project Mnas an end in itself, not to see it as a tool in extension programming.nAdvisers feelings towards Project M may have been reinforced by thenlack of resource person follow-up to his own input. n" @default.
