Results of the study showed that 31 (only 1 female and 30 male) farmers were covered in the study with a mean age of 40.5 years. Average household size of respondent farmers was 11 persons while mean farm size was 0.6ha. Most of the surveyed households had been on their enterprise production activity for almost 17years. In terms of educational attainment, 28% of the surveyed farmers had tertiary education, followed by 25% that had primary education. Average yield of rice was 3.6mt/ha from the lead farms and 4mt/ha from the demonstration farms. That of sorghum was 1.0m/ha for each of the lead and demonstration farms. Cassava yield was recorded as 22.8mt/ha and 33.7mt/ha for lead and demonstration farms, respectively.
Based on the experience garnered from this survey, we recommend that subsequent yield survey should be properly timed to give room for early commencement with due consideration of timing of harvest for the respective crops promoted by the program.
