Interactions between players in the field of pasture renewal

Abstract: The Pasture Renewal Leadership Group (PRLG) has undertaken four surveys among its members, dairy farmers, seed retailers and contractors to assess the effectiveness of the PRLG's communication around the topic of pasture renewal. This paper reviews these surveys and focusses on the interactions between the different respondent groups and the influence of the interactions on farmers' pasture renewal practices, based on the information sources each respondent group used and the credibility they attribute to them… Show more

“…The aim of the PILG, to ensure consistent messages relating to pasture renewal were disseminated, appears to have been met as respondents indicated that not only is there now better information available in comparison to 2010, but also that the messages were more consistent across the industry. These results indicate improvements to the quality of communication between the various players in the field of pasture renewal, such as seed retailers, farmers and researchers (see Rijswijk 2013).…”

“…Many studies have focused on evaluating the benefits of pasture renewal and providing guidance for farmers to carry out good PRPs on their farms (Brazendale et al 2011;Stevens & Knowles 2011).

The existing literature on adoption generally provides an insight into various factors that influence adoption by land owners (e.g.…”

“…To facilitate farmer adoption of PRPs, understanding their satisfaction with and attitudes towards the practices is crucial, as well as the influence of the different farmer characteristics on adoption of PRPs. One of the contextual factors for farmer adoption is access to relevant and credible information as indicated by recent studies (Pannell et al 2006;Hansson & Ferguson 2011;Rijswijk 2013;Yang & Sharp 2017). It is also important to know which factors are relevant to a cohort of farmers that will enhance the specialisation of programmes and projects supporting the adoption of PRPs.…”
