This is the first of two papers and it discusses various aspects of the planning of agricultural research projects in the country. Problems of farmers and field observations served as sources of ideas for research projects only in one third of the cases. Compatibility with an Institute's goals and resources availability were the major criteria considered for proposing research projects. Project leaders in consultation with project members formulated their research projects within six months. The majority of the projects were discussed, evaluated and approved by scientific bodies like the Staff Research Council (SRC) or the Project Advisory Committee (PAC). Only a smaller proportion of the project proposals were rejected because of lack of personnel and facilities, and poorly prepared project proposals. In a considerable number of cases research methodologies were modified after approval for want of funds, men and materials, and due to the discovery of new methods. Apart from lack of resources in terms of men and materials, human problems such as a poor relationship with superiors also played a significant role in the premature termination of research projects. In a number of cases, no deadlines were set for the completion of research projects, and inter-disciplinary co-operation was lacking.</div>","PeriodicalId":100059,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration","volume":"22 4","pages":"Pages 217-231"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0309-586X(86)90010-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76055094","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}

To throw light on the extent and the causes an examination was undertaken of the effects of major road developments on two Cumbrian agricultural estates in the United Kingdom. The estates differed in size, resources, and socioeconomic orientation and experience with their respective road schemes. The larger estate had more resources to plan effectively from the early stages, to enter into mutually beneficial arrangements with planners and contractors, and was able to administer the compensation negotiations effectively. The smaller, more typical, estate did not have the resources to plan effectively, and consequently suffered the usual difficulties that emerge from road developments, without reaping the benefits witnessed in the former example. The professional expertise and negotiating power available to the larger estate emerges as a crucial factor. Benefits to the National Farm would result from increasing the professional expertise available to affected farmers to provide similar negotiating capability.</div>","PeriodicalId":100059,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration","volume":"23 4","pages":"Pages 223-237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0309-586X(86)90018-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77411283","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}
