For this, it is necessary using methods that several objectives approximate to ideal point simultaneously. IN addition, no attention to farmer preferences in farm planning causes the troubles for farmers in accepting planning. So in present study it is tried to attention these subjects with using interactive multiple criteria decision making, in farm planning for Fars province. Maximization gross margin, minimization risk and, irrigation water selected for planning objectives. Results indicated that interactive cropping pattern is convenient to present pattern rather than compromise method. In interactive cropping pattern, risk decreased compare to present and compromise cropping pattern that it is indicated tend to risk diminish in region farmers. In addition, the results designated that interactive models have the results better than multi objective and compromise programming because to be attention to farmers preference. With attention to research finding can say that it is possible for reformation of values three objective maximization gross margin, minimization risk and irrigation water rather than present cropping pattern.
