Abstract: This farm practice was conducted from November 1986 to March 1987 at the Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite for a period of 6 months. It aimed to develop the skills of the Student Outreach Agent (SOA) as a technician and to help the farmers improve their farming techniques through modern technology. A total area of 5,000 square meters (½ hectare) of land was planted with a white variety of corn seeds. Land preparation, planting, weeding and cultivation, fertilization, pest and diseases control, harvesting and marketing were all employed throughout the project. All the available data were gathered and. recorded. The total cost spent for oorn production was reasonable enough and was much lower compared to the cost of production spent on other crops. It was attributed to the productivity of corn plants in a short period of time and to the low cost of labor in the place. The cost of materials and supplies purchased at the start of the project was lower that the Current prices and no major outbreak of pests a c., diseases was recorded. The net return ob e:.ined was acceptable and can be attributed to demand for corn seeds which resulted in the increase of its current price. Thus net income derived was remarkably high and it could be ascribed principally to the low cost of production, The high net return obtained indicates that corn production using the most practical method could be a good source of livelihood.
