Community reeling factory has been established to solve the problems of reeling labors and improve the quality of Thai hybrid silk yarn in weaving industry. To find the fact of farmer network’s sericulture technology under community reeling factory is important to increase the chances of successful management. Research questionnaire data were collected from 180 farmers in Khon Kaen and Mahasarakarm provinces. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and t-test. The findings reveal that the majority of farmers were female, planting recommended mulberry variety namely Burirum 60 at the average production of 1,791.11 kg/rai/year, rearing silkworm variety namely Dogboe at the average of 6.22 crops/year and the average cocoon production of 183.20 kg/year. All farmers cultivated mulberries in their own lands at the average of 2.01 rai with 1,573.68 plants/rai. The majority of silkworm rearing technologies were at moderate level. Furthermore, the results between farmer network from Khon Kaen and Mahasarakarm provinces showed that there were highly significant differences in farmer age, land occupation, sericulture experience, number of mulberry plants/rai, mulberry age, mulberry production, rearing cycle and cocoon production/year.
