Abstract
In this modern day of information technology, telecentres provide the rural
farmers with prompt and reliable information about what is happening in areas of
improved seedlings, better methods of cultivation and fertilizer application, pest and
weed control/eradication, new advances in livestock production and disease control etc.
Where rural farmers are not faced with constraints in accessing agricultural information,
traditional media such as rural radio, has been used in delivering agricultural messages
to rural farmers (Munyua, 2000). The lack of access to basic agricultural knowledge and
information by rural farmers may be as a result of certain constraints has made these
farmers to stick to their old traditional methods of farming system and animal husbandry
practice, hence resulting in poor crop and livestock productivity. Information and
knowledge are very vital in agricultural development of any community and where they
are poorly disseminated as a result of certain constraints, the community's agricultural
development becomes highly impeded. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate
the problems of the farmers when it comes to the information dissemination set by the
Department of Agriculture.
