Abstract
There are many studies which have assessed the impact of extension, some treat the presence or absence of extension as a binary variable and few investigate how the frequency of the contact impact farm household welfare. The results revealed significant differences in the outcomes. Farmers who frequently accessed extension used very less urea fertilizer than farmers who accessed extension only once. Private extension access result in statistically significantly higher incomes but not reduced urea fertilizer application rates.
