The research uses the social survey method on a random sample (214) respondents from the Agricultural Extension in Sharkia Governorate. The data were collected by using questionnaire during January and February 2022. The data were analyzed by frequencies, percentages, weighted average, Pearson correlation coefficient, step wise regression coefficient. The results indicated that more than half of the respondents (56.1%) agreed to privatizing the extension service. 52.3% of the respondents indicated that the extension service could be privatized in Egypt. The results also showed that the most important form of privatizing the extension service is that a certain amount is paid for the advice it gets for all crops throughout the year with a weighted average of 131.7. The results also indicated that these are four independent variables contributed significantly by 29.5% of the total variance of the level of trend towards the subordination of the extension service, these variables are: the number of years of work experience at 15%, the number of training courses obtained by 6.1%, age by 5.9%, the degree of cultural openness by 2.5%, The effects of these variables were positive, except for age, which had a negative effect.
