Paddy rice and its processed form, rice, is one of the main food substances of the mankind. It is inevitable to increase the yield of this agricultural product. In this study, a public survey had been made in Thrace which is one of the paddy rice yielding areas, for the purpose of examining the yield of paddy rice. Data bases had been formed from gathered data. From these data, factors that influence the yield of paddy rice had been revealed, and logit functions were selected to use to predict the model.
