This article examines the social interactions and the development of family farmers from the perspective of contributions that the communication process can bring to development, where the theoretical background is the main communication for social change. The research is based on data collected on the Web Xique Xique. One of the objectives proposed is whether, over time, the community would be strengthened between farmers or whether, instead, there would be a tendency to individualization. Another objective is to identify whether extension and union representatives are integrated into the network of relationships of producers sitting. It starts with the hypothesis that there is a consistent network of social interactions that includes actors from various sectors of local society and also that family farmers have advanced in the process of emancipation.
