The primary data was generated from 180 sample farmers comprising 72 small farmers, 72 medium farmers and 36 large farmers spread over 18 villages of 9 taluks in north Karnataka. The results indicated that in North Eastern Dry Zone the investment on farm buildings by large farmers was the highest (Rs.40,385) followed by medium (Rs.22685) and small farmers (Rs.10356). Whereas the investment on tractor by the large and medium farmers was Rs.156350 and Rs.15786 and on seed drill it was Rs.1680 and Rs.1465 respectively. The total investment on all the irrigation structures put together was Rs.113200 Rs.15058 and Rs.154470 for small farmers medium farmer and large farmers respectively. The proportion of small farmers and large farmers involved in investment on Nala-bund was 37.50 and 62.50 per cent respectively. The money invested on land leveling and bunding structures by small farmers, medium farmers and large farmers was Rs.24304 and Rs.30930 and Rs.27880 respectively.
