Increase in the level of
mechanization in agriculture is a factor that promotes increase in productivity
and also helps improve life standards in rural regions. In this study, factors
that affect participation in benefiting from machinery and equipment supports
were studied through the Ağrı province example. The main material of the study consisted of primary data
that was obtained from face to face meetings carried out with agricultural
enterprises, which were registered in the Farmer Registration System of Ağrı
province. The Probit Regression Analysis method was used to determine
participation in benefiting/not benefiting from the support, the relationships
between the socioeconomic factors that affect this act, as well as the
relationship degrees. According to the results obtained by the model,
while the variables of household population, production of arable crops, and
the existence of nonagricultural income had a significantly negative effect on
participation in benefiting from machinery and equipment supports; the
variables of irrigated land size, total amount of agricultural fields in the
enterprise, and the existence of tractor(s) in the enterprise had a
significantly positive effect.
