Large amounts of formerly European-owned land were available for resettlement, especially in the Southern Province, and many farmers have been moved to new areas, supplied with some amount of land and infrastructure and begun agricultural production, with expectations of improved results. How have resettled farmers reacted to the new structures and patterns of the settlement schemes? In this paper, two settlement schemes in Magoye, Mazabuka District, are compared, based on the responses of settlers to questions about problems they have encountered in the new situations. Inadequate credit, insecurity of tenure and a shortfall in expected social service provision (i.e. schools, clinics, roads) were seen by many settlers as the major problems. For those settlers who sign long-term lease agreements but do not actually purchase the land they farm, land ownership is of overwhelming concern. As discussed in the conclusion, settler participation in both the project design and management would be useful in avoiding or resolving many of these difficulties. Also, a future comparison of settlement schemes with other reform strategies, such as state farms or collectives, might prove informative in a search for solutions to the current problems of Zambian settlers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100059,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration","volume":"18 3","pages":"Pages 159-174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0309-586X(85)90076-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84225144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper compares the extent to which the adoption of practices in selected crop enterprises approximated the level recommended by extension workers. Data were collected from the Lugari and Ikolomani divisions of Kakamega District, which is a smallholder area. The former is a settlement area in the previously European settled areas, the latter an area of traditional African farming. We found nearly all farmers in the former area to be knowledgeable about improved farming: they observed recommended practices. This was so largely because of their having been exposed to an earlier intensive extension education and assistance programme which led to saturation of knowledge in the area. The influence of personal factors, such as formal education and economic status, on farmers' observation of recommended practices was significant only within each study area; it could not explain the marked difference in observation of the practices between study areas. Thus, the initial intensive extension programme which was part of the settlement policy has proved to have a positive, long-lasting effect which is very desirable for agricultural development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100059,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration","volume":"18 1","pages":"Pages 39-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0309-586X(85)90040-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78914300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-contact farmers perceived the agricultural extension worker to be the most useful source of rice production information; contact farmers, the radio and neighbouring non-contact farmers were ranked second, third and fourth, respectively. In most cases, non-contact farmers' perceptions of the understandability, availability and trustworthiness of an information source were positively related to their perceived usefulness of that source.
