This article is about the social dynamics in the work of intervention of the public rural extension in Big Rio of the South. Those dynamics represent the relationship/encounter established among the agents involved in the process of rural development.

It is used of a qualitative methodology to understand the intervention process for the rural development starting from the theoretical notions of social interface and of human agency, obtained in the Guided Perspective to the Actor developed by Long (2001; 2007a) and Long and Ploeg (1989; 1994). so much Para, divided the article in four sections. The first is about the relationship between rural extension and intervention for the development and it approaches the Agency of rural extension quickly: EMATER/RS-ASCAR. The three following they specifically negotiate on the dynamics of social interface established among the Agency, extensionists and public-put it.

The encounters of social interface between extensionists and farmers happen daily and in some situations the interface relationship settles down and he/she manifests the hybrid knowledge (interaction of the knowledge contextual and scientific). In another situations the social interface doesn't settle down and the worlds of life of the extensionist and of the farmer they are reaffirmed and they stay to the part.
