There were significant differences among the (AEC) officers re-garding each of their perceptions, views about farmers expectations and what actually been perlomed for the (AESQ) at each of the item score. Data revealed also that there were significant differences related to score of the physical and material arrangements and reliability dimen-sions Among (AEC) officers perceptions and views their about farmers expectations of (AECO).
