From the author: This study focuses on Plan Sierra, a large nongovernmental organization located in the north central section of the Dominican Republic. Plan Sierra has successfully promoted the use of soil and water conservation technologies to upland farmers since 1979. This research is based on data collected from interviews with 161 Plan Sierra farmers regarding the relationship between planned outreach communication channels, adoption, and sustained use of conservation practices. The analysis identified a statistically significant association between farmer interaction with Plan Sierra and the three outreach communication channels used to gain the adoption and maintenance of soil and water conservation practices.
