      abstract = {The main objective of this paper is to highlight some of  the changes that have occurred in South Africa since the  1980s and to show their impact on the profile of the  farming population and on farm management training and  extension.
Main conclusions:
1. The change in government  and the enormous hunger for land had a dramatic influence  on the South African agricultural sector and is of such a  nature that major adaptations must be made to farm  management training and extension.
2. The beginner farmer  will become very important and farm management training and  extension must be made available to all levels of farmers  in order to ensure sustainable agriculture for the country  as a whole in the long run.
3. The University of the Orange  Free State with its Centre for Agricultural Management is  well geared to train farm management advisers. At present  course material is being adapted to cater among other for  the needs of advisers to beginner farmers.},
