Abstract	A study identified the perceived agricultural education needs of farmers in Santa Barbara County, Venezuela and determined the extension teaching techniques most preferred by the farmers as well as the most suitable time of the year and preferred location for receiving technical training. Data were collected from 276 farmers through face-to-face structured interviews during April and May 1989. The interview instrument was in Spanish. Four major conclusions were drawn from the findings: (1) the highest educational needs were in machinery management and crop production; (2) the educational needs scores and the demographic variables of the farmers are independent of one another; (3) farmers prefer on-site farm visits, field demonstrations, and radio programs for receiving technical information; and (4) farmers prefer to receive technical information at their own farms during the summer months.
