This study is designed to assess the sources of income among farming households; identify the perceptions of farming household to climate change; identify various adaptation strategies to climate change used; determine the effect of climate change adaptation strategies to farmer’s income.

Descriptive statistics and Ordinary Least Square regression were used for data analysis. The study found that majority (77.8 percent) of rural dwellers depends largely on farming activities as a means of livelihood to sustain their family. It was also revealed that 63.6 percent of the households witnessed change in weather conditions as reflected in unusual downpour of rain. Also, it revealed that 51.7 percent of the households adopted early planting as most preferred and 2.9 percent of the households adopted increased irrigation as the least preferred adaptation strategies against climate change.
