ABSTRACT
Agricultural extension plays an important role in the development of food agriculture, especially in efforts to increase production. This study describes the performance of agricultural extension in Pemalang Regency, Central Java on internal factors and available infrastructure. The analysis method used is a mixed method, which is a combination of descriptive statistics and simple triangulation. In Pemalang Regency, the overall performance of extension workers is 62.7% included in the sufficient category. The availability of facilities and infrastructure has no significant effect on the performance of extension workers. The results of multiple linear regression analysis found that the variables of education and the number of assisted farmers had a significant effect on the performance of extension workers, while the variables of age, working period, and regional distance did not have a significant effect on the performance of extension workers.
