Sustainability, which involves the ability to use a resource in ways that ensure little or no damage to guarantee continuous use of the resources, was the focus of the study. A focus group discussion was employed using farms to take inventory of the soil conservation practices they consider to be sustainable, from which 15 practices were validated. The study identified the determinants of the farmers' use of the practices in the study area. Quantitative data were gathered from 112 respondents sampled though systematic technique from five communities with the use of questionnaire. The results of the study shows that the farmers are aware of most of the practices. The soil conversation practices they often make use of multiple cropping, use of cover crops, crop rotation and the use of fallow system. They also plant multipurpose tree species for erosion control, and use organic manure with inorganic fertilizer at varying degrees to enhance productivity and ensure sustainability. Correlation test at P<0.05 shows that farm size, income, labour use, their other income generating activities and there level of awareness had significant relationship with respondents use of the sustainable soil conservation practices. Multiple regression analysis shows that factors that determine farmers use of those soil conservation practices are their level of awareness of the practices, farm size, income, labour use of their income generating activities in which they are involved. The factors determined 72% of the variation in respondents' use of conservation practices. Farmers should therefore be assisted with respect to those factors to ensure the sustainable use of the soil, which is very important in their income generating activities as farmers.
