Agriculture Television –  The government has also utilize Television (TV) for agricultural extension activities. Until kinipun program still exists, but it is often not or less designed for the needs of agricultural extension or education, but leaning more to the entertainment programs. It should siatan agricultural programs on TV, whatever the shape and variety, shall observe the rules of the benefit, that is how the agricultural broadcast programs, broadcast on TV can be quickly adopted by the community, especially by the agricultural community. According to (Rogers and Shoemaker, 1986), there are several things to consider in carrying out agricultural broadcasts on this TV, so fast it is useful, the programs offered should be related to the rapid adoption whether or not the people doing the broadcast. According to him, the pace of adoption is influenced by several factors: (i) The nature of innovation, (ii) The nature of the target, (iii) How the decision-making objectives, (iv) communication channels used, (v) Conditions penyuluhnya itself in delivering innovation to the target, and (vi) Variety of sources of information.
