The present study was designed to develop a scale to measure the attitude of Cauvery delta farmers towards farm diversification. Farmers in the delta region used to cultivate the irrigation intensive crops because of the abundance of water. But recent days due to drought and cyclone, farmers diversify their crops to high returns using low water and labor requirement. Trustone’s equal appearing interval scale construction method was employed to analyze 66 statements. Finally, six statements (three positive and three negative) were selected with reliability value 0.764.
