“…Welsh and Rivers (2011) have concluded that farm scale determines farming practices. However, the literature does not provide a clear conclusion on the relation between farm size and environmental pollution.…”

We have investigated manure management practices at three farm scales in Chinese pig and poultry production. The concept of ecological rationality was employed to explore empirically how environmental concerns drive adoption of environmental-friendly manure management technologies at different farm scales. The more developed Rudong County in Jiangsu Province and the less developed Zhongjiang County in Sichuan Province were chosen as cases for study of 258 animal breeders. On the contrary to our hypothesis, medium-scale farmers were not always found to be laggards in adoption of manure management technologies. Government ecological rationality played a key role to induce environmental-friendly technology adoption on its own, but also in cooperation with ecologically rational individual or network drivers. Authorities no longer applied their efforts in a conventional command-and-control way, but more in the form of incentives, stimulation, and information to farmers. Individual farmers in general showed low environmental responsibility in relation to manure handling.

“…Despite being relatively narrow and field-specific, soil moisture and local climate data were chosen as the key data to represent water given the relative ease of access to data and important area of focus it provides to direct attention to water demands, use, and productivity (Hoekstra et al, 2011; Perry, 2011). An industry partner in direct monitoring was identified and approached and a sample of producers were purposefully chosen from their customer list with demonstrated interest in improving their WP (Welsh and Rivers, 2011). A producer was engaged in a series of formal and informal site visits, meetings, and equipment installation.…”

Primary producers need strategies and tools to assist in monitoring water use with a view to improving physical and financial productivity. The purpose of this research is to integrate farmer financial accounting data with soil moisture and climate data to better account for water use on farm. Farm-accounting systems, if present, lack the sophistication to allow growers to analyze use, loss, and productivity of water. Water-accounting technologies, if present, do not readily link to business systems to provide the optimal real-time financial decision-making data, nor the necessary context for new technologies to support a broader integrated approach to water management. Findings of desk-based technology benchmarking suggest elements required include real-time sensory data integration that allows for strategic allocation to the full suite of direct and indirect water costs. Key actor interview and producer surveys highlight demand for a farm business integrated water productivity tool and findings from field data collected in a potato case study provide demonstration of how irrigation decision-making can be supported by the crucial link between producers’ business systems and sensing technology.

“…The research group was determined by the purposeful sampling method. In purposeful sampling method, information-rich cases are selected for in-depth study, and persons, events, objects, or situations that meet certain criteria are included in the sample (Welsh & Rivers, 2011;Büyüköztürk et. al, 2016).…”
