Box 1. Sociometry.
Ask a few people informally the following questions:
1. I am new to the village. Could you tell me three names of leaders of the village? (These are positional leaders who are currently holding leadership positions.) Write down their names or remember them and write them down later.

2. Name three leaders whose opinions or ideas on agriculture have influence on their friends and community leaders. (Make sure to get these names from each section of the society: the larger, medium, and small farmers because opinion leaders exist in each socioeconomic strata of the community.)
