Descriptive statistics, farm budgeting and production model were used for analyzing the collected data. The research result showed that gross margin of N23.00/kg, with a net income of N20.94. Wheat production constraints identified in the study area include inappropriate farmers management practice, soil degradation, pest and diseases incidence, higher inputs cost and limited access to farm credits, poor seed quality and lack of extension and research support.
