So this study is an attempt to determine the educational needs of rural women as the first step in drawing solutions for insufficient grain storage processes.



It is proposed that the results will provide some scientific bases to promote extension programs in practical.
Objectives:
The objectives of this study were stated as follow to:
1. Determine the present situation of grain storage on the level of village.
2. Determine the relationship between: some social
and economic variables and the score of educational

3. Determine the relationship between: some social and economic variables and the score of educational needs for practice in storing grains of the rural women.
4. Determine knowledge needs of the rural women for the storing grains.
