In Columns 2-6, we report the point estimates of the following specifcation:<br>_Yit_ = _β_0+_βEExtensioni_ +_βI IndRecommi_ +_βGGranti_ +_βFFlexiblei_ +_αc_ +_εit_, We include randomization strata fxed effects and compute robust standard errors. At the bottom of the table, we report the mean and the standard<br>deviation of the outcome for the omitted group of farmers, which in Column 1 corresponds to those who did not the grant (T4). In Columns 2-7, the omitted category is the control group of farmers. We also report p-values of linear<br>combinations of the estimates coeffcients that map into the original study design. In Column 1, the dependent variable is a dummy that takes value 1 if the farmer reported remembering the sowing recommendations were given to<br>him or her as part of our intervention. This question was asked in August 2015 during our Follow-up survey. In Column 2, the dependent variable is a dummy that takes value 1 if the farmer kept record of the soil analysis given to<br>him or her as part of our intervention. 33 farmers did not answer this question. In Column 3, the dependent variable is a dummy that takes value 1 if the farmer reported that he or she would probably follow the recommendations<br>in the following season. Data for Columns 2 and 3 were collected as part of the Commercialization survey, conducted in June 2016. In Column 4, the dependent variable is a standardized index of two individual dummies that take<br>value 1 if the farmers reported trusting the recommendations given by their input suppliers and IPAMPA, a local AES company. To compute the index, we standardize each dummy individually, add them all and standardize the<br>sum. We use the mean and standard deviation of the control group as reference for the standardized index. The questions in the index in Column 4 were asked as part of our Follow-up survey conducted in August 2015. 40 farmers<br>did not answer these questions. The dependent variable in Column 5 is the number of people each farmer reported to have worked in the plot registered to be part of our study, excluding harvesting activities. The data for Column 5<br>were collected as part of our Follow-up survey conducted in August 2015. In Column 6, the dependent variable is a standardized index of 5 questions from the Final Follow-up survey conducted in May 2017 that measured farmers’<br>attitudes towards change. See Appendix TableA12for the defnition of variables. Standard errors in parentheses. *** p_<_0.01, ** p_<_0.05, * p_<_0.1.|
