    Abstract: Small holder farmers in Orire Local Government Area of Oyo State have multiple goal, in most cases the goals of providing food for family throughout the year, accumulating monetary income and ensuring minimum use of paid labour are paramount.  Eighty farm households were selected purposively and their hectare allocation were maize/sorghum/cassava (3 ha) maize/millet/pepper (1.6 ha), maize/yam/cassava (1 ha) and maize/cassava (2 ha). The minimum cost of this plan is  45,000, the result revealed that some household resources such as land is not yet the constraining factor among the farmers. However the efficient allocation of farm resources are important and should be built into programme promoting increased agricultural productivity among farmers.
