ABSTRACT :
The paper provides insights into the linkages among farmers involved in group farming by examining how the degree of communal ties among rice farmers in the Muda area of Malaysia changed as a result of group organization. The degree of communal ties before and after the formation of group farming was assessed with reference to the exchange of technical information among farmers. Sociograms derived from the test clearly showed that the communal ties tended to become stronger after the group was formed, but that the farmers' attitude to group activities was still ambivalent, reflecting a low degree of concern for organization at the supra-family level.
