The age of respondents ranged from 10 to 76 years. The average age was 33 years. Majority of the respondents worked as lessees and had long experiences in rice farming. The average farm size was 3.9 hectares ranging from .01 hectare to 5.01 and above and farmers had average number of farm household of four.
