​
Lack of Information
​
Farmers often have little understanding of the variables that affect their farming operations and their marketing efforts .
​
They simply keep on engaging in the same farming and marketing practices used previously, often with no improvements to show for their efforts.
They often plunge ahead and plant crops that will lack viability in the marketplace by the time they harvest the crop.
