Farmers' Attitudes to the Benefits and Barriers of Adopting Automation for Surface Irrigation on Dairy Farms in Australia
Abstract The study reports farmers' attitudes andperceptions towards the ``barriers'' and ``benefits'' of automaticirrigation systems. Factor analysis was used to identify perceived ``barriers'' and ``benefits'' andthe impact of these on farmers' priority to adopt automation wasexamined. Results suggest that farmers'attitudes, particularly with respect to ``cost'' and``lifestyle'' influenced the priority given to adopting automaticirrigation systems. The area under pasturecultivation was also an importantdeterminant in the farmers' priority foradopting automatic irrigation systems.
