The Importance of Communication Skills to Independent Crop Consultants

Independent crop consulting companies provide services to farmers by scouting (i.e., collecting field observations of plants and pests) and developing management recommendations for individual fields. In production agriculture, independent crop consultants (ICCs) are professionals who are independent of product sales. They are knowledgeable in many disciplines including plant pathology, entomology, weed science, plant science, economics, water management, and soil science. However, ICCs must also have extensive communication skills to communicate to their audience of field scout(s), farmers, industry professionals, and government officials. The goal of this document is to examine how ICCs use their communication skills and how they can refine and strengthen their communication skills. Communication is an important life skill, involving knowledge or information transfer to produce an outcome. Communication concepts and models can be applied to interpersonal communication between ICCs and their audience (Chapter 1). Communication between the field scout and ICC primarily occurs during the field training process for the scout. Educational methods of experiential learning and scaffolding can be applied to this field training process (Chapter 2). Interviews with farmers explored the motivations and values of farmers that aid the ICC in communicating management recommendations to farmers (Chapter 3). These interviews emphasized farmers have individual goals, motivations, values, and communication styles, in which an ICC must adapt to develop a trusting relationship. Independent crop consultants are also instrumental in the agricultural social system by bridging knowledge transfer between farmers, industry professionals, and government officials (Chapter 4).

Agricultural Research Division 114th Annual Report 2000

It is a pleasure to provide you with a copy of the 114th Annual Report of the University of Nebraska Agricultural Research Division (ARD). This report is our opportunity to inform you about our research programs and accomplishments and to allow us to assess the progress and effectiveness of our collective efforts to develop new knowledge. After examining this report, we hope that you will agree with our assessment that ARD research has provided new technology and knowledge for Nebraskans that will improve the profitability of their enterprises, enhance environmental quality, and improve their quality of life. This report provides some highlights of research accomplishments, a listing of scientists and research associates, awards and honors received by our faculty and graduate students, outputs from our research projects, and the ARD financial report for the period July 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000. This report was compiled in compliance with the intent of the law of the State of Nebraska that established the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station on March 31,1887.
