Achievement/Findings:

Findings revealed that 80% of the farmers are either within the "young" or "middle-aged" groups of 25-50 years. Development psychologists hold that one's productivity in his profession takes a highest tum during this age level, more especially at the middle-aged level. ln this study, 54 percent farmers fall in the middle-aged group. Thus, the logical conclusion follows that Binamoog-5 farmers generall y are in the most productive stage of doing farming as their profession. 2. A great majority of the farmers (63%) are l iterate having attained varying degree of educational leveL the secondary level, however, being dominated over the primary and "above secondary level." It may be concluded that the client system itself provides an excellent ground for extension work.
