Why don't producers adopt best management practices? An analysis of the beef cattle industry
调查肉牛生产者对16项最佳管理实践的采用率及不采用原因，发现不熟悉和不适用是主因，强调教育和农场类型、财务状况对推广的重要性。
Abstract Cattle producers were surveyed to determine their adoption rates and reasons for non‐adoption of 16 best management practices. Potential reasons for non‐adoption included unfamiliarity, non‐applicability, high cost, still considering adoption, and preference not to adopt. The two most commonly cited reasons for non‐adoption were unfamiliarity and non‐applicability of the practice. Results highlight the importance of educational efforts in encouraging adoption, as well as farm type and financial situation of the farmer.
