The main purpose oj this study research was to assess the attitudes and response ojrnJarmers to agricultural extension package in Rayaazebo woreda, Agriculturalrnextension package intervention is an arena oj struggle in which adopt or reject tornthe technology inputs such as improved seeds ,chemical Jertilizer , credit, treadlernpumps etc become the a Jocus oj the dynamic interactions among different socialrnactors.rnBoth qualitative and quantitative methods are employed to collect data. In otherrnwords, data is collectedJrom key iriformants' interview, Jocus groups discussion andrnhousehold survey. This study conducted a survey oj 161 sample rural householdsrnselectedJrom three tabias.rnMost oj Jarmers in the study area do not have positive attitude to development agentsrnin the study areas. About 67 % oj Jarmers do not satisJy Jrom the service given by therndevelopment agents. About 56 % of the respondents reported tha t the transfer ofrntechnology to the community's did not base on the society knowledge and interest.rnImproved technology packages h ave not been adequately tested locally before theyrnare promoted on large scale. In this study, even Jarmers have awareness on thernimportance oj Jertilizer, majority Jarmers do not apply in their Jarm lands. Resultsrnshow that 86.3 % oj the respondents do no use chemical Jertilizer Jor the last twornyears. The main reasons which aifectJor the non-adoption oj Jertilizer in the studyrnareas are: high price oj Jertilizer, lack oj cash and the presence oj shortage andrnunreliable rainJall in the area. Besides this, due to high price oj improved seeds, poorrnquality and no yields difference in the improved seeds contributed Jor the lowrnadoption oj improved seeds in the study area. A result shows that about 62 percentrnof sampled household respondents are using local seeds while 29% of thernrespondents a re using improved seeds in Rayaazebo. The major source of inigationrnin the study area is nver diversion, ponds and well dugs. About 61 %of thernrespondents constructed water-harvesting ponds Jor the last three years. However,rnabout 53 % oj the constructed ponds are either out oj Junction or do not hold water.rnThe major responsible factors contnbuting to ineffectiveness of the pond to holdrnwater are problem in site selection, design, leakage, siltition, shortage ofrnconstruction matenals. Failure of ponds to hold water in the study area show thatrnfarmers do not participate voluntaIily in planning and implementation. Theyrnconstructed the ponds either they are forced by government agents or to get aidsrnand to participate in food for work (63.6%). Extension contact is an importantrninstrument for dissemination of agncultural technologies. About 67.2 percent ofrnfarmers' contact with extension agents during extension meeting where as 21.8rnpercent gets extension service during social gathering. Fourteen percent of thernrespondents reported that they diverted thetr loans to other activities than thernonginal stated purpose because the package credit loans do not keep thetr interest.rnIt was revealed that Jarmers were not passive recipients oj the govemmentrnintervention intended to improve their lives. Farmer's responses to different extensionrnpackages were mixed: adoption, rejection and transJormation. In study area,rndemonstration the practice oj agricultural extension remains based on the top-downrnapproach. Typically, this approach is linear, rigid, and linked to introduce modemrntechnology. This linked to the ideas oj achieving planning targets through coercivernpersuasion oJJarmers on improved seeds and water harvesting schemes.
