Which of the following is a common method of disseminating information to farmers?

  1. Social media campaigns
  2. Radio broadcasts
  3. Field demonstrations
  4. All of the above ✓

Explanation

Common methods include: farm visits (extension officers visit individual farms), demonstrations (showing techniques on model farms), farmer field schools (group learning), and mass media (radio, TV, print).

Each method suits different situations. Personal visits work for complex problems; mass media reaches many farmers quickly but cannot address individual needs.

Modern additions: mobile phones for SMS tips, WhatsApp groups, YouTube videos, and apps providing weather and market information to farmers.
