The purpose of this study is to identify determinant factors influencing the intention to smart farm adoption using the 5th wave dataset of Agricultural Industry Education Panel Survey, which has been investigated since 2014. It was appropriate data to achieve the research goal because it includes target samples who participated in overall farmers' education. Also, we constructed interaction model to confirm the effect of farm type as a moderater. The coefficient of determinants of Model 3 including interaction term was more suitable than Model 1 and Model 2. As a result, facility farms intention to smart farm adoption tend to decrease further with age. On the other hand, when education satisfaction was high, it increased. Through these results, we suggest that researchers consider more detailed farm characteristic variables at the control variable level. Second, in addition to smart farm education, it is necessary to continuously manage the qualitative aspects of education for farmers. Third, support policies on adopting stage of smart farm should be diversified according to characteristics such as farm types and Crops. Also, it was suggested that it is necessary to clarify the limitations and scope of technology in terms of the research. In terms of smart farm adoption, “Smart Farm Technology”is still unclear and varies depending on the situation.
