This paper analyzes the nexus between farmers' education and technology adoption in determining agricultural income of Korean farm households. A key hypothesis is that, given the allocative (entrepreneurial) ability-enhancing effect of education and the skill-biasness of technological change, farmers' education and technology adoption will have mutually reinforcing effects in earnings determination. For empirical analysis, the IV tobit regression is fitted to the 2000 Agricultural Census data. The empirical findings indicate that, other things being equal, farmer's education reinforces the earnings effect of technology adoption - specifically, adoption of eco-friendly farming in this study - and vice versa.
