- W614530762 abstract "This study analysed agricultural information utilization among rural sorghumfarmers in Benue State of Nigeria. Data were collected from randomly sampled 130sorghum farmers in Benue State using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed usingfrequency distribution and percentages as well as chi-square test analysis. The studyshowed that the sorghum farmers get information on sorghum farming mainly throughfamily (87.69%), farmers’ groups (86.15%), other farmers (75.38%) and extension agents(63.85%). However, research institutes (15.38%) and universities (15.38%) have not put inenough efforts to carry out their function of information generation and delivery to farmers.Most of the sorghum farmers (80.77%) utilized information on all sorghum farmingoperation while only a few (19.23%) did not use any of the information. The majorconstraint to access to information by sorghum farmers in the study area includedinadequate extension contact (21.54%), ineffective communication (19.23%) and distancefrom other farmers (15.38%). The result of the study showed that information sources andinformation utilization among the sorghum farmers have significant relationship.Furthermore, information types and frequency of information usage among the sorghumfarmers have significant relationship. Extension agency should encourage all sorghumfarmers to subscribe to the various sorghum farmers groups that abound in the state. Thiswill make information easily accessible to them. Extension agents should intensify theirefforts so as to spend much time to teach farmers on the areas of needs. Other method suchas mass media should be used regularly to disseminate information to sorghum farmers insuch a manner that the farmers will understand the message and information beingcommunicated to them. Universities and Research institutes should double efforts to ensurethat research results are passed on to the rural farmers in a much more accessible manner" @default.
