520			_aThis study seeks for an answer for the partly unsolved problem of why the villagers are reluctant to accept agricultural innovations, specially among the traditional Thai farmers. In the developing countries, most agricultural plans such as the Green Revolution have failed to achieve the anticipated targets of the implemented plans. The major objective of this study is to investigate the farmers reactions towards agricultural innovations by understanding the socio-economic and cultural factors which are interrelated in relation to farmers adoption and rejection of agricultural innovations. The Most important and surprising factor that emerged from this research study is that the most of the farmer respondents were aware of new techniques as early as in 1968. The overall impression of the farmer respondents is that new technology is not necessarily an important factor for higher yield. But traditional factors such as rainfed farming and farmers' diligence were considered as the priorities. Furthermore, social values such as mutual aid is highly valued by the farmers for their farming practices. Innovations had penetrated into the farming communities to a certain extent, but socially accepted economic practices such as mutual aid are imbedded into the social and economic life of these poverty stricken farming communities. More specific researches should be conducted for better understanding of farmers reactions as well as their capacities to accept agricultural innovations.
