摘要：The objective of this paper is to establish the relationship that exists between irrigation farmers and extension workers through agricultural knowledge and support systems. To find out the type of information needs of irrigation farmers. To also find out whether these public extension workers are adequate to meet the growing number of irrigation farmers in the study area. The paper will also find out whether the E.W was exposed to ICT. The paper will also examine the challenges faced by the E.W, in disseminating agricultural knowledge and information to the irrigation farmers. The findings from the paper revealed the following problems; such as the inadequacy of the extension workers, lack of exposure to new technologies and also the dearth of an extensive literature. Seventy Two (72) extension workers were selected through census sampling techniques. Focus group interview and questionnaire were used in eliciting information from them. SPSS package was used to analysed the data, also cross tabulation, inferential statistics and descriptive statistics was used to explain the data collected.
