Finding: The results show that Shannon's entropy method with an average level of agricultural development 0.030 was less than ideally expected. The natural performance level of the area is 3.64 on the Likert scale, which is higher than the median of three comments. The average of desirability behavior pattern of the government in agricultural development planning in Likert scale is 1.80 which is lower than the level of middle and theoretical research. The impact of such behavior on Agricultural Development Planning Performance indicators is obvious (0.019). In the meantime, infrastructure components, training and promotion and investment banks operating in sequence with correlation coefficients 0.419, 0.670 and 0.438 a significance level of 0.000, 0.000 and 0.002 with the agricultural development of targeted communication have shown that this relationship is not based on investment and diversion operation of government in the economy.
