Results showed that the lack of participation of the studied person's majority was in moderate level. Prioritizing the items of ranchers nonparticipation based on the mean statistic showed that averages of 4.57, 4.39, and 4.21 includes nonparticipation of ranchers in seeding, sowing, and water piping, respectively.
