The results showed that the effect of supervision and facilities on the performance of the agricultural extension workers in North Labuhanbatu Regency based on the indicators were as follows: First, there was a positive and significant influence between supervision on the performance of the extension workers, which means that if the supervision improves, the performance of the instructor will automatically increase as well. Second, there is a positive and significant effect between the facilities on the performance of the instructor, which means that if the facility increases, the performance of the instructor will improve. Third, motivation does not moderate the effect of supervision on the performance of the instructor.
