This research aimed to analyze the relationship between the level of competency with the level of ICT use by the extension workers. The study was designed as a descriptive survey research correlational ,which was observed by quantitative analysis approach that is supported by descriptive and inferential statistic analysis. The study was conducted in Bogor Regency,West Java Province. Based on this research can be concluded level of ICT utilization in the range of aspects related resources are very real to the competence of extension on the capability of understanding the potential of the region, entrepreneurial ability and the ability of the system guides the network, while the variation of the material aspects of counseling and a variety of related information is very real with all levels of competence extension.


I. INTRODUCTION
Extension is essentially the professional activities of education services dignified development, namely the respect the community humanism [1] [2]. The main focus of education is the development of human capital as part of a social system. Extension efforts are convergent development community structure, dialogue, democratic, and participatory, so that people in Indonesia who had colonized the old, apathetic and dependent interference by other parties (dependent), then shifted subsistence society (independent) developed into an independent society ( interdependent). Such developments are in line with the concept [3] on the development of human behavior. Extension placed man as the subject of development and human capital to develop into independent and empowered (dignity) in adapting to the environment, thus being able to improve the quality of life for themselves, their families and communities. It is therefore necessary professional competence standard extension is supported by clear and effective control in carrying counseling profession.
Extension workers weakness not only in the aspect of quantity, but also quality is quite alarming. The results of research related to the extension workers of competence [4], [5], [6] showed weak agricultural extension workers competence . The low quality of extension workers is also confirmed by [9] that the extension ideally it should also be able to improvise professionals who are responsible for the situation and field conditions encountered, but professional personnel such currently available is not enough. These conditions indicate the need for all parties to examine how to improve quality.
In line with the implementation of agricultural extension workers paradigm changes and demands of global change, the speed and accuracy of delivery of information technology and alternative and highly effective solutions need carrying. since the last two decades in many developed countries and even developing countries began to pay great attention to the use of information technology and communication (ICT) for showing agricultural extension. ICT use here is also not free from an increase in the quality of farmers and agricultural resources, advances in information technology and communication and also consideration of the effectiveness and efficiency of the dissemination of information, one of the solutions offered in order to address the issue of transfer of technology and knowledge [6].
Science and technology is developing rapidly with the demands of the changing times. ICT developments, especially since the advent of internet technology has led to major changes in society. Information technology products are relatively cheap and affordable facilitate access to information beyond national borders and cultural boundaries. This condition has penetrated to all levels of human life, including farmers in the countryside.

Therefore, the instructor becomes an important role as a facilitator in developing the potential of farmers. As a consequence extension is required to adjust to the changes and demands of the growing community [8].
Based on the current situation and the condition of the extension, the chosen Bogor District as study sites because this area is an area with a variety of ICT usage and fairly high level of accessibility to resources, the instructor been exposed to ICT, network connections are quite extensive, and in Bogor there various units of agricultural research, universities and centers of information. Thus there are various options for agricultural extension in the use of ICT.

II. RESEARCH METHODS

Distribution of the average scores and the coefficient of t test competency level civil servants and THL-TBPP presented in Table 1. The results of t-test showed no significant differences in civil servants extension worker and THL-TBPP the competence level extension workers. Research hypothesis which states "there are real differences between the level of competence of civil servants and THL-TBPP in the use of ICT is rejected.

A. Relationship the level of utilization of ICT with competency level extension workers
Competency level civil servants extension workers and THL-TBPP an extension ability levels are based on the knowledge, skills, and supported by his attitude in carrying out the task of extension in empowering farmers. Competency level civil servants and THL-TBPP on the level of ICT use classified in the high category.
Furthermore, analysis of the relationship with the extension workers competency level of ICT utilization rate is obtained that level of ICT utilization seen from the indicator range of information sources, variations extension materials, the range of information and quality of knowledge sharing.
The results showed that the range is very real resources positively associated with the ability of understanding the potential of the region, to develop entrepreneurial abilities and capabilities of network system guides. This proves that the increasingly wide range of resources, the extension is proportional to the extension's ability to understand the potential of natural resources, farmers understand the problems and find solutions, also explained that the range of resources able to develop a bold stance in seeking opportunities, take risks and to facilitate partnership with others, especially universities, research institutions and the business world.
Variations extension materials and a variety of information related to the very real positive with all aspects of the competency levels of extension that includes the capability of understanding the potential of the region, the communication capability of innovation capability of learning management, renewal management capabilities, the ability of management training, develop entrepreneurial abilities and capabilities of network system guides. This proves that the variation of extension materials and a range of information is directly proportional to all levels of competence extension. The more material that can be accessed counseling and type of information conveyed by the instructor through the use of ICT, the higher the level of competence, especially in the understanding of potential areas of competence, innovation communication skills, and the ability to guide the network system.
Research hypothesis which states that "there is a real connection between the level of ICT use by extension acceptable level of competence," ie in the range of aspects related resources are very real, especially with the capability of understanding the potential of the region, entrepreneurial ability, and the ability to guide the network system, also aspects of material variations counseling and a variety of related information is very real with all levels of competence extension. This is in line with the opinion of Marius et al. (2007) which states that the extension competent in preparing, evaluating, and developing more education have a significant impact for farmers rather than just to have competence in communication and social interaction.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
Level of ICT utilization in the range of aspects related resources are very real to the competence of extension on the capability of understanding the potential of the region, entrepreneurial ability and the ability of the system guides the network, while the variation of the material aspects of counseling and a variety of related information is very real with all levels of competence extension.
