at an upcoming extension agent training on organic production systems, i have
been asked to provide some thought provoking comments on the use,
applicability, acceptability, etc., of anecdotal evidence or information in
making recommendations to farmers. the real question presented to me is: what
is an extension administration's position on use of this type of data in an
extension educational program?

some of the kinds of info i'd like to uncover include:

tests of reliability of that type info
guidelines for documentation of anecdotal info
including anecdotal and more traditional research info in recommendations

any thoughts or comments?
