The aspire of the study were to the effect of wheat crop row sowing on income of farmers, in Wayu Tuka Woreda East Wollaga Zone in Ethiopia. Wheat crop sowing is a highly valuable grain for Ethiopian people both in production and in consumption. The objective of the research was to describe the factors affecting adoption and intensity of wheat row sowing in the study area. The study was based on cross sectional research which was included both qualitative and quantitative research approach. The data were collected from total 135 respondents selected from three kebels of Wayu Tuka Woerda by using random sampling method. From the total 135 respondents 82 were wheat row sowing adopters while 53 were non wheat row sowing adopters. Both primary and secondary data used and analysed using descriptive statistics and logit model. The software used for data entry and analysis were STATA14.2. The results show that about 61% of the respondents are users of wheat row sowing whereas 39% can be classified as non-adopters of wheat row sowing. The empirical Results revealed that age, credit access and agricultural input use of household negatively influenced decision to adopt wheat row sowing while accesses to technology, total annual income, access to training and availability of labour force were positively influenced the decision to adopt wheat row sowing. Finally, wheat row sowing has significant impact on farmer’s income increment. It is better to encourage farmer households as they actively participant in wheat row sowing technology and support them by giving training, supplying agricultural inputs and adopting new technology for them with adequate skills for enhancing their annual income and development of the country economy.
