Most farmers feel that extension agents cannot always be present if needed or only a few farmers feel that extension workers are always available when needed. This is because, due to the low number of extension workers, every 1 (one) instructor handles 4 to 6 gampong.

Extension agents also provide knowledge needed by farmers, extension agents provide knowledge to farmers so that farmers can apply the knowledge gained from extension agents, such as the method of legowo row planting system, integrated pest control and others.
