The experimental result were 180 surveyed farmers, 28 per cent farmers had marginal size farm (upto 1 ha), 29 per cent had small (1-2 ha), 25 per cent farmers belonged to semi-medium (2-4 ha), 15 per cent farmers had medium size farm (4-10 ha) and 3 per cent farmers had large size farm (more than 10 ha). 40 per cent belonged to general category, 35 per cent were from backward category and 25 per cent farmers were of scheduled caste category. In district-wise distribution of farmers, 47 per cent were of small size (4 to 5 members), 20 per cent were of medium size families (6 to 7 members) and 33 per cent families were of large size (8 or more). It is clear that majority of farmers lived in small size family of farmers in Uttar Pradesh.

In district-wise distribution of farmers, 47 per cent were of small size (4 to 5 members), 20 per cent were of medium size families (6 to 7 members) and 33 per cent families were of large size (8 or more).
