The use of farm visit group method and discussion, mass media, posters and audio visual and are very effective means of extending knowledge to the rural populace. Food and agricultural organization (FAO) 1992 view agricultural extension as informal out of school educational services for training and influencing to adopt improved practices in crops and livestock production, management, conservation and marketing.
