Abstract
Contacts by Extension personnel play an important role in communicating soil conservation information to farm operators. This study reports the results of a survey of farm operators from three Tennessee watersheds about their attitudes toward Tennessee Agricultural Extension information sources. The results indicate that contacts by Extension personnel and the existence of a mortgage increase the likelihood that farm operators consider Extension information useful. However, farm operators earning less than 25% of their income from farm receipts are less likely to consider soil conservation information from the Extension service useful.
