| Abstract: | We study the demand by organic farmers for technical advice using a quantile regression for
the demand of organic farmers for consultations with private information providers. There is
substantial heterogeneity in the impact of critical explanatory variables on consultations of
organic farmer. Larger farm size has a positive effect on contacts, but the effect is absent for
the highest number of consultations. Internet use has a positive marginal effect on visits to
private information providers across each quantile, suggesting that expanded efforts to
deliver programs through web-based resources are a useful investment for information
providers. |
