It provides ideas and concepts on the processes of learning, the kinds of benefits possible from a good programme, what topics should be tackled, and the ideas on the resources available for helping, and, finally, a list of the training methods that might be considered. The chapter is completed with some concluding comments on the book.

Abstract Most farmers worldwide are owner-operators in various forms. The essence of this is that a farm family is intimately involved in farm life and decisions, with the farmer and his or her family living and working on the farm. Consequently any study of a farmer must also involve a study of the family and their influence on the objectives and decisions taken. This chapter considers these influences and also the factors that give rise to the objectives held by the farmer-household complex.

Abstract A farmer's personal characteristics have an impact on many important issues on a farm and its management. This chapter contains four case studies exploring four example decision areas involving farm growth, farm ownership structures, farm succession and farmer anxiety. In each case a model is developed and used as a basis for analysing farmer data to show the impact of, particularly, a farmer's personality and objectives.

Abstract This chapter introduces the characteristics of a farmer that defines his management ability, and discusses how these characteristics might be measured using psychometric tests. Those characteristics include: personality; attitudes to risky situations; intelligence; motivation, objectives and emotional intelligence; and learning style.
