Abstract

Abstract This study discusses farmers’ perceptions of the role of agricultural extension officers as communicators, facilitators, innovators, educators, and motivators in Taroada Village, Turikale District, Maros Regency. Farmers’ perceptions of extension activities determine the intensity of farmer participation. So it is hoped that the active role of extension agents in building trust in farmers is expected. This research took place from January to March. The data analysis method used is descriptive quantitative, where the data obtained from interviews with 138 respondents from all levels of the farmer class will be scored and explained descriptively to provide an overview of the role of extension agents for farmers. The results showed that agricultural instructors in Taroada Village, Turikale District, Maros Regency were sufficiently involved as communicators, facilitators, innovators, educators, and motivators.
