The purposes of this study were (1) to identify the present situation and pending problems of agricultural education in Agricultural Technology & Extension Center (ATEC), (2) to analyze the satisfaction degree and educational needs of agricultural extension education program, and (3) to draw some implications in the direction of the development direction of agricultural extension, based on the analysis aforementioned. Data were collected through questionnaires from 230 farmers. Based on the results of study, the recommendations were as follows. 1. Increase of income could not guarantee the improvement of QOL. So, ATEC should make some efforts to plan and administer diversified agricultural extension and education programs. 2. Agricultural practice was the most effective educational methods. Especially, for return-migrants and young farmers, applicable educational program should be planned and offered. 3. Education program on agricultural information, especially on the internet use, would be the most attractive program of agricultural extension education in the future.
