The mixed crop and livestock (MCL) farming could enhance farmers to improve their farming practice. This study aims to analyse factors that influence the adoption of MCL farming in Magelang Regency. A multistage random sampling method was used to select the locations and the respondents. Data were collected through personal interview based on structured questionnaire from 161 smallholder farmers. Logit models was applied to analyse the binary choices of practicing MCL farming. The result indicated that age, consulting toward extension agent, and number of livestock kept by farmer were significant at the level 10%, experience on raising livestock was significant at the level 5% and type of ruminants was significant at the level 1%. It may conclude that the younger farmers and farmers who raised large ruminants were have more possibility to adopt the MCL farming practice.
