Abstract
Agricultural extension is one of the efforts to increase agricultural productivity and quality. An agricultural extension program through socialization in Padukuhan Ngelo has been carried out as an effort to increase farmers' knowledge about hybrid corn cultivation techniques. Through the presentation of clear and relevant material in the socialization, farmers now have a better understanding of the selection of superior varieties, water management, and pest control. This increase in knowledge will encourage changes in farmers' attitudes towards agricultural practices, so that they are more open to innovation and motivated to apply the knowledge they have gained. In addition, the socialization not only increases farmers' knowledge theoretically, but also motivates farmers to apply better cultivation practices, thus having a positive impact on the productivity and quality of corn yields. Thus, it shows that agricultural extension is an effective step in increasing farmers' productivity and welfare
