ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING LEEK PRODUCTION IN TORONGREJO VILLAGE ON FARMERS WHO USE AND NOT USE FARMER CARDS

Abstract

Leek production from year to year is increasing due to the  large number of farmers who switch farming businesses from shallots to leeks because leeks are  more profitable than shallots (Sholihah et al., 2018) Torongrejo is one of the villages that has implemented a farmer card, but it is still not comprehensive for all farmers. This study aims to determine the factors that affect leek production and   to find out the difference in the income of farmers who use farmer cards and not farm card users.   The research method uses quantitative and qualitative approaches.  This research was conducted in April – June 2022, located in Torongrejo Village, Junrejo District, Batu City. After sampling using simple random sampling, the number of samples was determined purposively (intentionally) as many as 44 samples consisting of 20 farmers who used   farmer cards, 24 farmers who were not card user’s peasants.  The results of the analysis showed a test value of f of 82.17 with a p-value of 0.000 so that simultaneously all variables affect leek production.   While the t-test, partially the variables that affect leek production are seedlings, urea, za, manure. Labor variables and drugs have no effect on leek production.  Based on an Independent Simple T-test found a p-value of 0.010 which explains there is a difference in income between the farmer's user and non-farm card user.
