The study examined the prospects of integrating small holder food crop farmers in the new government policy drive for enhancing large scale and commercially oriented farm holdings in Nigeria. Multistage sampling method was used to randomly select 100 food crop farmers from 10 of the 16 LGAs of Ekiti State. Data was analysed by descriptive statistics, budgetary analysis and the Cobb-Douglas regression technique. The results revealed that the farmers were fairly old with a mean age of 49 years. Their level of education was also very low as 78% did not read beyond primary school level. Average family size was 6 with 96% of the farmers been men. Farm sizes averaged 2.5 hectares while net income was 75,330. Major determinants of farm income were farm size, family size and farm expenditure while determinants of farm size were family size, income and farm expenditure. The study concluded that group farming cooperatives should be encouraged among small holder farmers to enlarge their farms, jointly consume capital inputs and/or assets to reduce costs to increase farm output and farm capitalization. In addition, measures should be put in place to reduce and or eliminate price, institutional and infrastructural challenges that tend to reduce farm income to make farming profitable enough to encourage existing farmers as well as attract new ones.
